Amiodarone-induced thyroiditis (AIT) can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. It can be a diagnostic challenge in clinical cases, where response to therapy can be slow. It is important to achieve an early differentiation between various subtypes (i.e. AIT type 1 or AIT type 2) to guide therapy. We present a case of a 51-year-old man with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation for which he was treated with a maintenance dose of Amiodarone. He presented ...
