Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also Hashimoto's disease, is an inflammatory (autoimmune disorder) of the thyroid gland that causes hypothyroidism.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Diagnosis in short
Template:Px
Lymphocytic thyroiditis with serologic evidence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. H&E stain.

LM polymorphous lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with germinal centres, +/-nuclear clearing common, +/-oncocytic metaplasia
LM DDx lymphocytic thyroiditis (no serologic evidence of Hashimoto), papillary thyroid carcinoma, MALT lymphoma, Diffuse large B cell lymphoma, Hürthle cell neoplasm
IHC CD3, CD20, CD10, BCL6, BCL2, kappa, lambda - to demonstrated mixed population of lymphocytes
Molecular B-Cell clonality testing negative
Site thyroid gland

Associated Dx increased risk of lymphoma
Prevalence uncommon
Blood work antimicrosomal (antithyroid peroxidase) positive
Prognosis benign

General

  • This is a clinical diagnosis.
    • The histomorphologic findings, generally, are not diagnostic.

Etiology:

  • Autoimmune disease leading to hypothyroidism.
    • Often genetic/part of a syndrome.

Clinical

Serology:[1]

  • Antimicrosomal (antithyroid peroxidase) +ve.
  • Antithyroglobulin +ve.
    • Normal: <4.0 IU/mL.[2]

Associated pathology:[1]

Hashimoto's thyroiditis and papillary thyroid carcinoma

  • Association between Hashimoto's and papillary thyroid carcinoma considered controversial - literature divided.[4]
    • Jankovic et al. dispute that there is an association.[5]
    • Zhang et al. show a correlation.[6]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Lymphocytic infiltrate - key feature.
  • Nuclear clearing common.
  • Polymorphous lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with germinal centres.[7]
  • +/-Oncocytic metaplasia.

Notes:

  • Histologically often not possible to separate from "non-specific" thyroiditis.[8]

DDx:

Images

IHC

  • Panel to exclude lymphoma may be required, e.g. CD3, CD20, CD10, BCL6, BCL2, kappa, lambda.

Molecular

Sign out

Total Thyroid, Thyroidectomy: 
- Lymphocytic thyroiditis compatible with clinical history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. 
- NEGATIVE for malignancy.
