Introduction/purpose: This article aims to review of the common diffuse thyroid disease.
Methods: Thorough literature search and review was performed for each diffuse thyroid disease. The most recent and updated ultrasound images were obtained.
Results: Diffuse thyroid diseases discussed include multinodular goitre, Graves' disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, de Quervain thyroiditis, acute suppurative thyroiditis, anaplastic carcinoma, thyroid metastases, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, tuberculosis, plasmacytoma, IgG4-related disease and thyrolipoma.
Discussion: The major clinical features and the sonographic features of each diffuse thyroid disease are reviewed.
Conclusion: This article serves as a synopsis of diffuse thyroid disease.

Primary thyroid lymphomas comprise largely extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (EMZL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), followed by follicular lymphoma (FL). They commonly develop from a background of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), where dysregulated immune responses trigger autoreactive infiltrates and drive clonal B-cell evolution. To understand how these lymphomas and their relapse evolve, we investigated 10 cases by mutation profiling, including five with metachronous lymphomas [primary lymphoma (EMZL = 4, DLBCL = 1) with local relapse (EMZL = 3, DLBCL = 2)], one composite EMZL and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive DLBCL, and four lymphomas (EMZL = 3, FL = 1) with prior or subsequent biopsy showing HT.

Purpose: To evaluate the utility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of extraocular muscles (EOMs) in differentiating activity of thyroid eye disease (TED).
Method: Forty-two TED patients who underwent diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) were retrospectively enrolled in this study, including 29 patients in analysis group and 13 patients in validation group. The mean, maximum and minimum ADC value of each EOM were regarded as ADCmean, ADCmax and ADCmin.

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease with a characteristic pathological feature of eosinophilic hyaluronan inclusions in the nervous system and internal organs. The identification of GGC-repeat expansions in the Notch 2 N-terminal like C (NOTCH2NLC) gene facilitates the accurate diagnosis of NIID. Due to its rareness and high clinical heterogeneity, the diagnosis of NIID is often delayed or missed.

Article Synopsis
- Graves disease (GD) is the main cause of hyperthyroidism but often shows different symptoms like tachycardia and weight loss instead of the typical signs.
- Treatment options include antithyroid drugs (ATDs), radioactive iodine (RAI), and surgery, each with notable side effects and potential complications such as ATD resistance.
- A complex case study of a 58-year-old woman with MMI-resistant GD illustrates the difficulties in treatment, leading to successful management with RAI therapy after unsuccessful attempts with high doses of MMI.
