Abstract

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune thyroid disease with an increasing prevalence in the past few decades. The diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis has been traditionally based on clinical presentation, fine needle aspiration, biopsy, and laboratory findings. Here, we discuss the recent advantages of ultrasonography for establishing the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Moreover, ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy is being used more often in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis from other thyroid disorders. Together, ultrasound is emerging as a noninvasive method that with fine-needle aspiration aids in the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
