Abstract
Echographic examination of 10 patients with subacute thyroiditis [SAT] revealed a decreased echo pattern with a washed-out appearance. Clinical migration of inflammation was accompanied by migration of the sonographic abnoramlity; remission resulted in a normal echogram. SAT should not be confused with a true cyst of hemorrhagic degeneration of goiter. Echography may be especially helpful in the diagnosis of unilateral subacute thyroiditis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
