Hypoechogenic lesions in lymphocytic thyroiditis. Nodule or not nodule? Table 7 - Case 23
Right lobe
Left lobe

The right thyroid contains a hypoechogenic lesion presenting a complete halo. Although there are smaller hypoechogenic areas in the lobe, these are less hypoechogenic. The large lesion is a nodule in a pathological sense in all probability.

The patient underwent surgery. Histopathology disclosed Hashimoto's thyroiditis and a Hürthle-cell adenoma in the right lobe.
