Abstract
A 74-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for goiter and persistent thyrotoxicosis. She had no signs of ophthalmopathy. She was not taking thyroid hormone. Thyroid CT revealed multiple nodules. The thyroid gland was not detected on (99m)Tc scintigraphy, (123)I uptake rate was 4.5% at 24 hours without hot nodules, and aberrant goiter was negative. After partial thyroidectomy, she was treated with levothyroxine. TRAb was undetectable during the disease course, and focal destructive change or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis on the pathological specimens was not evident. We report a rare case of toxic multinodular goiter with low radioactive iodine uptake.
