Expansion of the thyroid gland (goiter) is a common issue in clinical practice and consists of a single nodule or multinodular (MNG). MNG can vary in symptoms, from no symptoms to life-threatening manifestations. Iodine deficiency, genetic predispositions and environmental factors, and autoimmune diseases have been shown to result in MNG. Herein, we present a unique case of a 64-year-old male who was diagnosed with MNG associated with autoimmune thyroiditis and immediately scheduled for hemithyroidectomy to relieve pressure and compression symptoms on the trachea and esophagus, and to correct hyperthyroidism caused by the thyroid mass. After an uneventful postoperative recovery, the patient was discharged home a few days after his surgery and his follow-up in the outpatient clinic continued for 12 months without any related complaints and the chest X-rays remained normal.
