Abstract

Tuberculosis is a problem to public health, especially in developing countries. However, involvement of the thyroid gland is rare. Herein, a 53-year-old woman with complaint of painless swelling on the right side of her neck is presented. Nodular goiter was detected in addition to multiple lymphadenopathies on the right cervical region. Tuberculosis was diagnosed based on histological findings in both the thyroid gland and cervical lymph nodes contrary to our expectation which was thyroid carcinoma.
