Abstract
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune thyroid disorder, in which the immune system turns against the body’s own tissues. The resulting inflammation from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis often leads to an underactive thyroid gland. It is characterized by a great variability in thyroid scan appearance. We report an unusual finding of hot nodule in a patient of hypothyroidism.
