The authors report a case of hemiagenesis of the left thyroid lobe indicated on Tc-99m pertechnetate scan and later confirmed on ultrasonography. The patient was clinically hypothyroid with a right-sided goiter. The cytopathologic diagnosis was made by fine-needle aspiration cytologic analysis, which indicated chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis in the right lobe of the thyroid gland. Later the patient's condition was stabilized with thyroxine replacement therapy. The association of hemiagenesis of the thyroid with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis has not been reported in the literature.
作者报告了一例经锝-99m高锝酸盐扫描显示左侧甲状腺叶半侧发育不全，后经超声检查证实的病例。患者临床诊断为甲状腺功能减退，伴有右侧甲状腺肿。通过细针穿刺细胞学分析做出了细胞病理学诊断，结果显示甲状腺右叶为慢性淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎。随后，患者通过甲状腺素替代疗法病情得以稳定。甲状腺半侧发育不全与慢性淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎的关联在文献中尚未见报道。
