Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) was first described by Japanese doctor and medical scientist Haraku Hashimoto (1881–1934) in 1912 as “struma lymphomatosa,” meaning an enlarged thyroid gland infiltrated with lymphocytes. This most prevalent autoimmune disease, as well as one of the most common endocrine disorders, is usually referred to as autoimmune chronic thyroiditis.
