Hypoechogenic lesions in lymphocytic thyroiditis. Nodule or not nodule? Table 14 - Case 15
The left lobe on horizontal scan (left upper image) and on longitudinal scans

The upper left image presents horizontal view while the other three images do longitudinal views of the left lobe.
There is a nodule-like hypoechogenic lesion on horizontal section (left upper image). The longitudinal scans (remaining images) disclose that this lesion is really a pipe-like structure running along the dorsal part of the left lobe and the isthmus. A pipe-like lesion cannot be a nodule.
