Abstract
Thyroid tuberculosis (TT) is a very rare condition, even in countries where tuberculosis is endemic. However, the global prevalence of tuberculosis has increased, and thyroid involvement can be a primary manifestation of the disease. The total number of such cases is about a hundred; most of them are autopsy findings. We present the case of a 60 years old female patient with primary thyroid tuberculosis who was managed with antitubercular drugs after left hemithyroidectomy and patient reported doing well after three months of medication. TT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a thyroid nodule. Typical caseous necrotic granulomas are the hallmark in biopsy.
