Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from failure of one thyroid lobe development. We report a 23-year-old female presented with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in left lobe, associated with hemiagenesis of right lobe and isthmus which was previously diagnosed as Graves' hyperthyroidism, but developed further into Hashimoto's thyroiditis after being treated with antithyroid drugs...

Inflammation of the thyroid gland is referred to as thyroiditis and associated with inflammation. Recent studies found significant association between novel inflammatory metabolic markers, well C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP/lymphocyte count ratio (CLR) a marker that various conditions has not been studied in thyroiditis, yet. We aimed investigate CRP lymphocyte patients compare those healthy su...

The clinical picture of acute thyroiditis 8 may be so classical that the diagnosis is obvious. However, very often, the symptomatology may be obscure. Several investigators have sought for a laboratory test, specific for the disease, to complement the clinical observations. In 1949, Werner, Quimby, and Schmidt (1) reported that six patients with thyroiditis had exceedingly low thyroidal uptakes...

OBJECTIVE To assess levels of vitamin D and of immunoglobulin G subclasses in children and adolescents with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with or without autoimmune thyroiditis. DESIGN Among 213 patients with type 1 diabetes, the cases with thyroid-specific autoantibodies formed Group 1 [n=19, M/F: 7/12, median age 13 years (10.1-14.7)]. Nineteen age-, gender-, and diabetes duration-matched cases ...

INTRODUCTION The presentation, diagnosis, clinical course and treatment of a man with hyperthyroidism secondary to autoimmune thyroiditis in the setting of type 1 diabetes mellitus has not previously been described. CASE PRESENTATION A 32-year-old European-American man with an eight-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus presented with an unintentional 22-pound weight loss but an otherwise ...

Distinguishing between thyroid malignant lymphoma and lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) is quite difficult and problematic. Molecular techniques to detect clonal lymphoid proliferation based on Ig heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangement may be used to facilitate more accurate diagnosis of malignant lymphoma. We recently established a method for diagnosing thyroid tumors by analyzin...

In previous studies we have transferred thyroiditis to naive BALB/c and NOD mice with human thyrotropin (TSH) receptor (TSHR)-primed splenocytes. Because the TSHR has been implicated in the pathogenesis of thyroid eye disease (TED) we have examined the orbits of recipients of TSHR-primed T cells, generated using a TSHR fusion protein or by genetic immunization. In the NOD mice, 25 of 26 animals...

Objective: The objectives were to evaluate fine needle aspiration cytology results of 39 pediatric patients, and the pathologies that cause childhood thyroid nodules, and to review the literature on the subject. Material and Method: Thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology results of 39 pediatric patients were retrospectively reviewed. Associated diseases, thyroid functions, anti-thyroid antibod...

BACKGROUND/AIM To review the sonographic views of paratracheal lymph nodes (PLNs) in the diagnosis and during different stages of autoimmune thyroiditis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Features of the PLNs (left and right), thyroid sonography, and laboratory data were investigated in 126 cases. Patients were divided into three groups by using thyroid sonographic criteria in the literature (group 1: co...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis is anautoimmune thyroid disease presenting with transient thyrotoxicosis as well as transient hypothyroidism. Several factors have been thought to be the initiating event in subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis. However, subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis that develops after thyroid lobectomy has not yet been reported in the literature. We r...
