Marine-Lenhart Syndrome

Marine-Lenhart syndrome, also known as nodular Graves disease, is the coincidence of Graves disease with TSH-sensitive functioning nodules. Thyroid scintigraphy shows the typical finding of diffusely increased activity with a decreased background, but with one or more cold nodules (suppressed by TSH).
