Tuberculosis of the thyroid is rare but should be considered for nodular thyroid lesions. Diagnosis in this case was confirmed post-thyroidectomy, leading to successful treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Thyroid tuberculosis is an uncommon condition, often presenting as a nodular lesion.
  • It requires consideration in differential diagnoses, especially when fine needle aspiration reveals acid-fast bacilli or granulomatous inflammation.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old woman presented with endothoracic goiter and no overt signs of tuberculosis.
  • The diagnosis was established retrospectively following a total thyroidectomy and subsequent histological examination.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed thyroid tuberculosis.
  • The patient completed a six-month course of multi-drug anti-tuberculosis therapy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering thyroid tuberculosis in patients with thyroid nodules, even without typical tuberculous symptoms.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in this rare presentation of tuberculosis.
