Thyroid tuberculosis is rare but treatable. This case highlights successful management of a young man with thyroid tuberculosis and mediastinal lymphadenopathy using chemotherapy and surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Thyroid tuberculosis is an uncommon endocrine disorder, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms.
  • Mediastinal lymph node enlargement can be associated with various infections, including tuberculosis.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old male presented with clinical and radiological evidence of thyroid tuberculosis.
  • The patient also exhibited significant enlargement of mediastinal lymph nodes.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed through appropriate investigations for tuberculosis.
  • Treatment involved a combination of antituberculosis chemotherapy and a hemithyroidectomy.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of thyroid masses and mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
