摘要
The effect of thyroid hormone treatment on thyromegaly was evaluated in 69 patients less than or equal to 18 years of age with goitrous Hashimoto disease. Changes in goiter site were related to pretreatment thyroid function (serum thyroxine and thyrotropin concentrations). We found that only hypothyroid patients had a clear diminution of their thyromegaly when given thyroid hormone.
