A member asked:
Do all nodules caused by hashimotos have similar characteristics? do they have a greater or lower chance of being cancerous as other thyroid nodules?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The "nodular": tissue of Hashimoto thyroiditis is "irregular" and can best be evaluated with various thyroid imaging methods! As far as I know there is no increase in thyroid cancer in patients with classic Hashimotos Hope this is helpful Dr Z
