Abstract

Background
Hashimoto thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gradual destruction of thyroid follicular cells,leading to progressive hypothyroidism. It is the most common cause of thyroid dysfunction in iodine- sufficient regions and shows marked female predominance. Surgical evaluation is required when malignancy cannot be excluded.
Case Report
A 35 year old female presented with a slowly progressive swelling on right anterior neck for 8 years. She was a known case of hypothyroidism and was on medication. Histopathological examination on total thyroidectomy specimenconfirmed Hashimoto thyroiditis.
Conclusion
Hashimotothyroiditis presents in young individuals with long-standing goiters that can mimic neoplastic lesions.Surgical intervention is required in cases with compressive symptoms.Early recognition and appropriate evaluation are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management
