“…Although sometimes overlooked, cervical lymphadenopathy on ultrasound may support a diagnosis of Hashimoto thyroiditis. 2 This lymphadenopathy is typically found in neck levels II-IV and VI. 3 Paratracheal lymph nodes may be involved in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.…”

We report the case of a 19-year-old woman with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis who presented with tender right anterior cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. Workup for infectious, autoimmune, and malignant causes was unremarkable. Surgical removal of cervical lymph nodes after detailed magnetic resonance (MR) imaging disclosed necrotizing lymphadenitis, also known as Kikuchi's disease (KD). The patient was treated with a short-term course of steroids, due to the onset of pancytopenia and borderline antiphospholipid antibodies combined with increased anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG) titers. Despite being a diagnosis of exclusion, KD should be included in the differential of such patients, particularly in cases of previous or concurrent autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which necessitate a long-term follow-up.

“…It is well known that thyroiditis is associated with reactive lymphadenopathy, of which US does not reveal an apparent fatty hilum in approximately 25%-80% of patients. 25,27,31,32 Consequently, a significant portion of reactive LNs encountered shows indeterminate US features in patients with thyroiditis. Lyu et al reported that LNs in patients with HT show diffuse lymphocyte infiltration in the medullary sinus of the LNs, which might elicit the loss of normal echogenic hilum on US and to result in US indeterminate features.…”

BackgroundTo evaluate the malignancy risk of sonographic (US) indeterminate lymph node (LN)s at the central compartment in thyroid cancer patients with US‐thyroiditis (ST).MethodsAmong the central compartments of suspicious, indeterminate, and probably benign LN US categories, the malignancy rates were compared between ST and non‐US‐thyroiditis (non‐ST) groups. Those of indeterminate category were compared with suspicious and probably benign categories.ResultsAt 531 central compartments from 349 patients, the malignancy rate was lower in ST group (34.4% [44/128]) than non‐ST group (43.4% [175/403]), although statistically not significant (p = 0.08). The malignancy rate of indeterminate category in ST group (35.7% [5/14]) was lower than non‐ST group (71.9% [23/32]) (p = 0.047). Within ST group, the malignancy rate of indeterminate category (35.7% [5/14]) did not differ from probably benign category (29.1% [30/103]) (p = 0.756), but was lower than suspicious category (81.8% [9/11]) (p = 0.042).ConclusionsThe malignancy risk of US indeterminate LNs at the central compartment in thyroid cancer patients with US thyroiditis was lower than that in patients without US thyroiditis.
