The patterns are similar: there is no colloid in the background,
follicular cellc occur in monolayered sheets and in follicles

The sonographic pattern differs
significantly. There is a large, solitary, hypoechogenic nodule with
sharp borders in echonormal background in the left case while multiple
hypoechogenic lesions with irregular borders are found in a minimally
hypoechogenic background in the left case. The adenoma case present
signs of a type 1 vascular pattern and the vascularization is not
specific in the thyroiditis case.

Taking the sonographic and cytological data into account, we gave the
diagnosis of a follicular tumor.
