Rare forms of thyroiditis - Case 4: Granulation around surgical thread

(ultrasonographic picture 1a)

Right lobe horizontal scan. There is a hypoechogenic inhomogeneous lesion marked with red ventral to the operated thyroid marked with green. The lesion contains a hyperechogenic patch with small bright hyperechogenic granules within it. This pattern is very similar to an amyloid deposit seen in medullary cancer.
