Toxic adenoma of the right thyroid lobe. The TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is ploughed up because of hyperthyrodism. The extra-nodular parenchyma, slowed down by the TSH, does not take up iodine, except a very weak uptake of the left lobe probably corresponding to small autonomous zones. Thyroid scintigram with iodine 123, anterior view.
