On a thirteen-aged girl an autonomous thyroid nodule with hypersecretion, has run its course towards hemorragic necrosis with suppression of hypersecretion. If partial cystic degeneration of autonomous thyroid nodule is frequent, it rarely occurs when extra-nodular thyroid tissue is completely suppressed, with clinical "cure".
