Abstract
A 68 year old, previously well woman presented with dysphagia, weight loss and a neck swelling. Investigations revealed a right-sided thyroid abscess with fistulous connection to the upper of two oesophageal carcinomas, a previously unreported association. The resistance of the thyroid to infection and the mechanisms of thyroid abscess formation in this patient are discussed.
