Abstract: (4672 Views)

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis can be present with a localized palpable nodule though presentation as a hyperfunction "nodule" is extremely rare. The first case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hot nodule was reported in 1971 by warner.
Case Presentation: We reported a 26-year-old hypothyroid woman in Hashimoto's thyroiditis background with a hyperactive thyroid nodule in both 99mTc and I₁₃₁scintigraphy. The nodule disappeared after eight months sufficient thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Conclusion: Toxic adenoma in hypothyroid patients can be resolved after the thyroxin replacement therapy.

Keywords: Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hot nodule
