Sažetak
Diffuse toxic goiter, as the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, is usually
initially treated with thyrostatic drugs such as methimazole, followed by radioiodine therapy or surgery
which may be indicated as definitive treatment. Radioactive iodine therapy has a known association
with various histopathologic features including cytologic atypia, but herein we present a rare example
of morphological thyrocyte changes induced by long-term pharmacological treatment with
methimazole that mimicked thyroid malignancy in a pathohistological sample.
