Abstract EN
Thyroid tuberculosis is a rare disease, although there is an increase incidence of extra pulmonary forms of tuberculosis.
We report a case of thyroid tuberculosis associated with mediastinal and pulmonary tuberculosis, which was confirmed by open biopsy and treated successfully by anti tuberculous medications for six-months.
Tuberculous thyroiditis must be differentiated from thyroid cancer and other causes of granulomatous thyroiditis
