ABSTRACT
Hashimoto's thyroiditis( HT) is known as the most common cause of hypothyroidism. It has been noted that solitary or dominant cold nodules are common (50% of the cases) in patients with HT while hot nodules are much less common. Chronic stimulation by TSH contributed to the increased ability of the nodular tissue to concentrate isotopes. Herein, we present in detail a patient who has HT with two hot nodules in hypothyroidism and the outcome of two-year follow-up, in order to call attention to the diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
