Tubercular Thyroiditis as a Part of Disseminated Tuberculosis in a Young Male: A Rare Clinical Presentation
Thyroid tuberculosis is uncommon even in countries like India where prevalence of tuberculosis is high. Bactericidal actions of colloid, excess iodine stores and high vascularity of the gland have been implicated for the very rare occurrence of thyroid tuberculosis. We present a case of a 16-year-...

| description | Thyroid tuberculosis is uncommon even in countries like India where prevalence of tuberculosis is high. Bactericidal actions
of colloid, excess iodine stores and high vascularity of the gland have been implicated for the very rare occurrence of thyroid
tuberculosis. We present a case of a 16-year-old male with thyroid involvement as a part of disseminated tuberculosis. The clinical
presentation of thyroid tuberculosis is varied and may be missed if not kept in the differential diagnosis of goitre. This case
also highlights the role of fine needle aspiration cytology in management of goitre. It is an important diagnostic test as it avoids
unnecessary surgical intervention. |
