Question about Hasimoto's dx

On my FNA results it states " arising in a background of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis".
When I look this up on google I get "AKA Hasimoto DX"

When my thyroid test came back normal I asked my doctor should we test for Hasimoto and he said no that he did not think that I had that. Does anyone know why the FNA would say this? Just trying to understand.

Its amazing how doctors don't know all about this...Mt doc said my TSH wasn't high enough to have it! So I don't really know what to expect..I must wait two weeks till my results are back!
