Abstract

Subacute thyroiditis, the most common cause of painful thyroid gland, is usually self‐limiting, but may cause permanent hypothyroidism in 10% of patients. The diagnosis can be made with anamnesis and physical examination. In our case, a patient who was admitted to the family medicine outpatient clinic was diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis and consulted on this subject. Since subacute thyroiditis is a painful disease, patients may panic during the diagnosis process and experience a difficult process until they reach the correct diagnosis. It is very important that family physicians, who are the first point of contact with health care systems, should keep the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis in their minds and provide appropriate counseling.
