The diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (DSV‐PTC) has ultrasound findings that are similar to Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), resulting in under‐diagnosis. DSV‐PTC combined with HT is also common, so early and accurate diagnosis of DSV‐PTC using a variety of diagnostic techniques, including FNAC, BRAFV600E mutation detection, and ultrasound elastography, is critical.
