Abstract:Hashimoto thyroiditis can coexist with benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Because of the pathological process and different duration,the clinical manifestations of Hashimoto thyroiditis are complex,which determines Hashimoto thyroiditis has the different performance of the ultrasound image.Ultrasound diagnosis of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid nodules is more difficult,to avoid unnecessary surgery,diagnosis of thyroid nodules before surgery is of great significance for clinical treatment and judgement prognosis.
