title: [Diagnosis and therapy of thyroiditis].
abstract: In general a heterogeneous group of diseases of the thyroid gland which have a common histological picture of an inflammatory infiltration is referred to as thyroiditis. In the last years increasingly is paid attention to these diseases, since they apparently become more frequent and diagnostics and also therapy have improved. In a review the diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities are discussed, whereby the most frequent forms, the Hashimoto and de Quervain thyroiditis, are described in detail. The individual forms of thyroiditis and particularly the thyroid malignoma are to be distinguished differential-diagnostically.
