Shifting cervical lymphadenopathy in Hashimoto’s disease

Abstract

Hashimoto’s disease typically presents with hypothyroidism due to lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid. Cervical lymphadenopathy has rarely been reported in Hashimoto’s disease. We report the unusual association of shifting cervical lymphadenopathy with Hashimoto’s disease.

Keywords:
