  Fibrous atrophy variant The gland is very small (1 to 6 g) and is characterized by abundant fibrous tissue, parenchymal atrophy and lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. 32,33 This variant is clinically associated with myxedema and a high incidence of Tg Abs [hormones.gr]

  However the clinical spectrum may vary from myxedema to hyperthyroidism, rarely thyroid pain, steroid responsive encephalitis, post-partum pituitary failure, post-partum exacerbation, and multi-glandular autoimmune disease. [japanthyroid.jp]

• Hoarseness

  When the gland is large, signs of compression of the neck organs are revealed: hoarseness of the voice, difficulty in swallowing, breathing. Diagnostics Chronic fibroid thyroiditis is diagnosed by puncture biopsy. [en.detadoctor.com]

  This compression produces the following symptoms: Hoarseness Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) Choking Shortness of breath (dyspnoea) Eventually, as the normal thyroid tissue is replaced by fibrous scar tissue, there is insufficient functioning tissue [thyroid.com.au]
