Hyperechogenic lesions in lymphocytic thyroiditis. Nodule or not nodule? Table 6 - Case 73
Left lobe, horizontal views
Left lobe, longitudinal views

There is one larger field and there are several smaller echonormal-hyperechogenic discrete areas in the moderately hypoechogenic left lobe. The longitudinal scan discloses the so-called micronodular form of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Taking the whole pattern into account the largest hyperechogenic lesion may be a nodule in a pathological sense which was proven by histopathology.
