It single most important non-neo plastic disease involves both immune system which are subsequently destroyed affected area turns pale becomes white.

1. The presence of fever and thyroid pain and tenderness, biochemical hyperthyroidism, and high ESR together make the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis most likely.1,2 Subacute thyroiditis is also known as de Quervain’s thyroiditis and granulomatous thyroiditis. It is believed to be caused by viral infection. In this condition, despite the marked release of thyroid hormones from the damaged thy...

A viral aetiology for sub-acute (de Quervain's) thyroiditis has long been postulated although proof has been elusive. Infectious mononucleosis has been associated with sub-acute thyroiditis in only two papers, and histological evidence of sub-acute thyroiditis was lacking in both. A case of sub-acute thyroiditis, confirmed by histology, occurring in a patient with infectious mononucleosis is no...

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is common cause of hypothyroidism with goiter in Iodine sufficient regions due to chronic auto immune disease. Patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis present either a small diffuse goiter or markedly enlarged firm gland mimicking malignancy. These patients may have an associated dominant nodule, most commonly a benign colloid, adenomatous nodule, nodular thyroiditis, or a...

Strain 13 histocompatible guinea pigs developed allergic thyroiditis after immunization with thyroid extracts derived from the same strain or from other strains of guinea pigs. This thyroiditis appeared as early as 5 days after immunization, and by 7 weeks was uniformly present and generally severe. 7 weeks after immunization, the anti-thyroid antibody titer correlated with the presence and deg...

Subacute thyroiditis is generally felt to have a viral etiology, and the diagnosis is usually obvious when the patient presents with a diffusely enlarged and very tender thyroid gland associated with elevated free T4 levels, elevated sedimentation rate, low radioiodine uptake and/or nonvisualization on scan and often some systemic symptoms. Subacute thyroiditis can be unilateral or focal (1,2)....

Thyroiditis is an inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland. It has been reported that thyroiditis is currently ranked the third autoimmune disease in the United States and has a staggering estimated prevalence of 21.8/100,000 (Burek et al., 2009). This is a well-established condition and many aspects of its etiology are also well known. According to the 2005 data of the American Thyroid Asso...

Hashimoto's thyroiditis has been reported to be associated with many neoplastic and nonneoplastic thyroid pathologies. This retrospective study aims to determine the demographic profile of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in Sri Lankans, document ancillary pathologies in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and determine whether there is an increased risk of occurrence of malignancies, benign neoplasms, and nonneop...

Riedel's thyroiditis is a rare disorder of unknown etiology and may be seen isolated or as a part of multifocal fibrosclerosis. It is important to distinguish Riedel's thyroiditis from thyroid carcinoma. Reports about imaging features of Riedel's thyroiditis are limited in the radiologic literature. We describe herein CT and MR imaging features of Riedel's thyroiditis in a case of multifocal fi...

Background: This study aims to research the relationship of subacute thyroiditis with SARS-CoV-2. The prevailing risks predisposition certain diseases or organ dysfunctions even after surviving disease are discussed more frequently each day. Aim: Could SARS-CoV-2 be considered as a triggering factor in patients diagnosed thyroiditis? Investigating between and Methods: Thirty-three 01.11.2020 01...
