Thyroid lymphography. 1977

I P Elhence, and O P Trehon, and C K Gupta, and S Sikroria, and B D Sharma

We have presented the lymphographic findings in 13 patients with thyroid enlargement due to various disorders and discussed the diagnostic accuracy of this procedure. It is possible to diagnose uncommon thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's disease and retrosternal goiter by thyroid lymphography. We recommend more regular use of this useful diagnostic aid.

D006044 Goiter, Nodular An enlarged THYROID GLAND containing multiple nodules (THYROID NODULE), usually resulting from recurrent thyroid HYPERPLASIA and involution over many years to produce the irregular enlargement. Multinodular goiters may be nontoxic or may induce THYROTOXICOSIS. Nodular Goiter,Goiters, Nodular,Nodular Goiters
D006045 Goiter, Substernal An enlarged THYROID GLAND with at least 50% of the gland situated behind the STERNUM. It is an unusual presentation of an intrathoracic goiter.

D013966 Thyroiditis Inflammatory diseases of the THYROID GLAND. Thyroiditis can be classified into acute (THYROIDITIS, SUPPURATIVE), subacute (granulomatous and lymphocytic), chronic fibrous (Riedel's), chronic lymphocytic (HASHIMOTO DISEASE), transient (POSTPARTUM THYROIDITIS), and other AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS subtypes.
