    Abstract

    The relationship between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and follicular cell carcinoma of the thyroid remains controversial. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is regarded by some as a premalignant lesion for which thyroidectomy is definitely indicated. In contrast, other investigators have found no increased evidence of thyroid carcinoma in patients with this disease. As a result, the management of thyroid nodules in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis remains highly individualized. A program for the management of patients with chronic Hashimoto's thyroiditis with co-existing neoplasia or primary hyperparathyroidism is outlined.
