The chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease. In recent years, a growing number of cases of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis combined with PTC are found in clinic, so the relationship between them has become a hot focus. This article will summarize the current research from epidemiology, pathogenesis and pathological morphology.
