Abstract
Diseases that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) include subacute thyroiditis and Reidle's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, euthyroid sick syndrome, goiter, hypopituitarism, lithium-induced goiter, simple (non-toxic) goiter, thyroid lymphoma, toxic nodular goiter, and types I and II polyglandular autoimmune syndrome. The characteristic diagnostic clinical, biochemical, imaging (sonographic), and histological/cytological features of HT will help make a differential diagnosis. This chapter explores the differential diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease.
