Riedel's thyroiditis is an extremely rare disease that is difficult to diagnose correctly using preoperative diagnostic tools because it can mimic malignant neoplasm or the fibrous variant of Hashimoto thyroiditis during preoperative physical, radiologic, and pathologic examination. We describe here a rare case of Riedel's thyroiditis in an elderly patient and its radiologic characteristics.
里德尔甲状腺炎是一种极为罕见的疾病，术前诊断工具难以准确诊断，因为在术前体格检查、影像学检查和病理检查中，它可能酷似恶性肿瘤或桥本甲状腺炎的纤维化变体。我们在此描述一例老年患者的罕见里德尔甲状腺炎病例及其影像学特征。
