    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Subacute thyroiditis can present with symptoms overlapping those of thyroid cancer.
    • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective thyroid cancer treatment.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with thyroid cancer exhibited clinical and biochemical signs suggestive of subacute thyroiditis.
    • Diagnostic confusion led to a delay in initiating appropriate therapy for thyroid cancer.

    Findings:

    • The study underscores the potential for subacute thyroiditis to mask underlying thyroid malignancy.
    • The relationship between thyroiditis and thyroid cancer warrants further investigation.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of atypical presentations is vital to prevent treatment delays in thyroid cancer patients.
    • This case series emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion for malignancy in patients with suspected thyroiditis.
