| chronic fibrous thyroiditis | A rare fibrous induration of the thyroid gland, with adhesion to adjacent structures, which may cause tracheal compression. Synonym: chronic fibrous thyroiditis, ligneous struma, ligneous thyroiditis, Riedel's disease, Riedel's struma. (05 Mar 2000) |

| subacute granulomatous thyroiditis | Thyroiditis with round cell (usually lymphocytes) infiltration, destruction of thyroid cells, epithelial giant cell proliferation, and evidence of regeneration; thought by some to be a reflection of a systemic infection and not an example of true chronic thyroiditis. Synonym: de Quervain's thyroiditis, giant cell thyroiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| thyroiditis | <disease, endocrinology> Disease of the thyroid, especially Hashimoto's disease, in which autoimmune destruction of the thyroid takes place. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thyroiditis, hashimoto's | Autoimmune thyroiditis. A progressive disease of the thyroid gland with antibodies in the blood stream directed against the thyroid and infiltration of the gland by lymphoctes (a key type of white blood cells involved in the immune response). This immune response is against one's own thyroid. (it is autoimmune.) predominantly affects women. Can be familial. Also called hashimoto's disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
