“…The fibrous variant of Hasimoto's thyroiditis is a well recognised entity, 6 the major clinical features being a rapid enlargement of a hard or firm and occasionally fixed goitre, together with the presence of neck pressure symptoms or hypothyroidism. These features may be mistaken for malignant thyroid disease and histological differentiation is often required 7 , 8 . There is no predilection for metastatic deposits to occur in abnormal thyroid tissue 9 and the combination of metastatic carcinoma and auto‐immune thyroiditis is most unusual; we are aware of only one other case in the literature 10 and we believe this case to be the first in which the fibrous variant of Hasimoto's thyroiditis has been involved.…”

Riedel's thyroiditis is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease of the thyroid gland. The aggressive fibrosis with extension beyond the thyroid into adjacent tissues contrasts with the diffuse, but intracapsular fibrosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Most current studies refute the possibility of progression from a highly fibrosing form of Hashimoto's thyroiditis to a Riedel's thyroiditis based on the distinct clinical and laboratory data, although an unknown immunological basis is suggested for both diseases. The authors describe a patient with Riedel's thyroiditis, probably associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, sent to surgery because her cytological examination suggested thyroid malignancy. This patient had clinical and laboratory features of hypothyroidism and very high titers of antimicrosomal and antithyroglobulin antibodies, which decreased after surgery. Pathology studies disclosed Riedel's thyroiditis with intense lymphocytic infiltration suggestive of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Quantitative immunohistochemical studies were not able to distinguish between both diseases.

We describe a unique association of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease) and chronic lymphocytic (Hashimoto's) thyroiditis in a patient who presented with significant cervical lymphadenopathy and a goiter. This case illustrates the value of lymph node biopsy combined with the fine needle aspiration of the thyroid in determining the nature of the relationship between the goiter and lymphadenopathy.
