The thyroid radionuclide images of 51 adult patients with a histological diagnosis of either Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT) were reviewed. The findings were variable but similar in the two groups, the most common being a multinodular pattern and the presence of hypofunctional nodules. Thyroid carcinoma was found in 2 of 41 patients with CLT and in 4 of 10 with HT. In a patient with clinical or laboratory evidence of HT and the radionuclide image finding of a cold nodule, thyroid carcinoma should be excluded by surgical biopsy.
回顾了51例经组织学诊断为桥本甲状腺炎（HT）或慢性淋巴细胞性甲状腺炎（CLT）的成年患者的甲状腺放射性核素图像。两组的检查结果各不相同但相似，最常见的是多结节模式和功能减退结节的存在。41例CLT患者中有2例发现甲状腺癌，10例HT患者中有4例发现甲状腺癌。对于有HT临床或实验室证据且放射性核素图像显示冷结节的患者，应通过手术活检排除甲状腺癌。
