Polycystic thyroid disease has been described as a rare cause of hypothyroidism. This uncommon entity has been reported in adults within areas with high iodine intake. Sonographic findings of multiple small thin-walled simple thyroid cysts in the context of hypothyroidism without thyroid autoantibodies are highly suggestive of this diagnosis. To our knowledge, we report the first 2 cases of polycystic thyroid disease in pediatric patients in Europe.
多囊性甲状腺疾病已被描述为甲状腺功能减退的罕见病因。这种不常见的病症在碘摄入量高的地区的成年人中已有报道。在没有甲状腺自身抗体的甲状腺功能减退背景下，超声检查发现多个小的薄壁单纯性甲状腺囊肿高度提示这一诊断。据我们所知，我们报告了欧洲首例2例儿科多囊性甲状腺疾病病例。
