Hyperechogenic lesions in lymphocytic thyroiditis. Nodule or not nodule? Table 3 - Case 13
Left lobe, horizontal scan
Left lobe, longitudinal scan

The thyroid is hypoechogenic and contains discrete echonormal areas and lesions. ogenic background. The shape of discrete lesions is irregular. We suggest to analyze the videorecord.

Taking the whole pattern into account, except for the lesion in the lower-dorsal part of the lobe the discrete areas are not nodules in a pathological sense. It is doubtful whether the nodule-like lesion in the lower-dorsal part is a nodule in a pathological sense or not.
