(1) Left lobe, (2) left sternothyroid and sternohyoid muscles, (3) left sternocleidomastoid muscle, (4) left common carotid artery, (5) trachea. The thyroid function test indicated profound hypothyroidism, with a significantly elevated ultrasensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSHus) level. Anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies were negative, as were anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. (From: Benabdelmalek N, Halouache A, Abainou L, Ait Malek S, Erraoui M, Ghozlani I.
