It is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of thyroid follicular cells, hurthle cells resulting in atrophy of the follicular cells and fibrosis. Cystic change is an unusual finding in Hashimoto__ampersandsignrsquo;s thyroiditis. A 35 year old female presented as nodular goiter clinically with ultrasound showing multiple cystic areas. Histopathological examination of the specimen after thyroidectomy showed features of Hashimoto__ampersandsignrsquo;s thyroiditis with cystic areas. We report a rare case of Hashimoto__ampersandsignrsquo;s thyroiditis with cystic changes in for the first time to the best of our knowledge. A more detailed study in this regard is warranted to understand the pathogenesis of cystic changes in HT.&#13;
