ABSTRACT Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that usually requires medical treatment but sometimes benefits from surgical treatment. The reasons why patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis requires thyroidectomy are (a) malignant lymphoma (b) repeated acute exacerbation of thyroiditis and (c) concern of coexisting thyroid neoplasm from Hashimoto's thyroiditis. We present three patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, a 69-year-old woman with MALT lymphoma, a 53-year-old woman with repeated episodes of neckpain and a 67-year-old woman with a coexistent benign thyroid nodule. These three patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis received surgical treatment and had an excellent outcome and document that some patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis warrant surgical treatment.

AbstractWe present a case of a 29-year-old Bulgarian woman with autoimmune thyroiditis and recurrent angioedema. The patient presented with a one-year-long history of recurrent angioedema and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Physical examination showed oedema surrounded by erythema on the forearms, and erythematous, itchy plaques spreading over her face, neck, chest, abdomen, and extremities. Blood tests showed elevated total immunoglobulin E (IgE). The patient had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and hypothyroidism. She had been taking levothyroxine 50 μg/d, resulting in a good hormonal control; however, her anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies were high. She was started on methylprednisolone and antihistamines. In three weeks, we observed a good therapeutic response to the treatment and the lesions remitted. IgE dropped within normal range. Levels of anti-TPO antibodies were persistently high. In conclusion, patients with angioedema should be tested for thyroid autoimmunity. Further delve into the pathogenesis of angioedema in them is warranted in order to explore the possibility of an underlying atopy in those not responding to the standard treatment with levothyroxine.

Abstract. To investigate the relationships between lymphocyte subsets and thyroid function, peripheral blood lymphocytes were analysed with cell surface antigens of activated (HLA-DR+) T, helper T (CD4+2H4−, CD4+4B4+) and suppressor-inducer T (CD4+2H4+, CD4+4B4−) cells subsets in 56 patients with Graves' disease, 16 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, 7 patients with typical subacute thyroiditis and 2 patients with the thyrotoxic phase of autoimmune thyroiditis. Both patients with Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis had increased percentages of HLA-DR+T (Ia+CD3+) cells as well as HLA-DR+ helper-inducer T (Ia+CD4+) cells, which seemed to be independent of treatments. The percentage of HLA-DR+ suppressor-cytotoxic T (Ia+CD8+) cells was increased in euthyroid or hypothyroid patients with Graves' disease following treatment, but was normal in hyperthyroid patients. The percentages of Ia+CD4+ cells and Ia+CD8+ were also increased in patients with thyrotoxic phases of subacute thyroiditis and autoimmune thyroiditis, whereas these abnormal values normalized in the remission phase. These findings suggest that an increase in Ia+CD4+ cells characteristically occurs during immune system activation in patients with hyperthyroid Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the thyrotoxic phase of subacute thyroiditis, whereas the activated CD8+ cells in Graves' disease are induced by antithyroidal therapy.
