Abstract
Between 1989 and 1994, 58 children and adolescents with Hashimoto thyroiditis seen at the Sainte-Justine Hospital had thyroid scintigraphy. Their medical records and films were reviewed retrospectively. Eighty-nine percent of the patients had a homogeneous distribution of tracer on thyroid scintigraphy, unlike the heterogeneous distribution classically reported in adults. In children and adolescents, thyroid scintigraphy is not helpful in the diagnosis of typical Hashimoto thyroiditis.
