Palpation thyroiditis
Palpation thyroiditis refers to the development of thyroid inflammation due to mechanical damage to thyroid follicles.[1] This can occur by vigorous repeated palpation (as with thyroid examination) or surgical manipulation (as can occur with radical neck dissection). It is a type of subacute thyroiditis. Pathology shows multifocal granulomatous folliculitis. T cells predominate compared to B cells. There may be initial transient hyperthyroidism due to leakage of preformed thyroid hormone in blood.[2][3]
