Abstract

Thyroid tuberculosis is a very rare disease of the thyroid gland. In recent years, the incidence of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis has been showing a progressive increase. We present the case of a 41-year old female patient, operated for an asymptomatic multinodular goiter, and who had a histopathological diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis. Thyroid tuberculosis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules, even in patients with no history and no symptom of tuberculosis disease.

摘要

甲状腺结核是一种非常罕见的甲状腺疾病。近年来，肺外结核的发病率呈逐渐上升趋势。我们报告一例41岁女性患者，因无症状性多结节性甲状腺肿接受手术，术后组织病理学诊断为甲状腺结核。即使在没有结核病病史和症状的患者中，甲状腺结核在甲状腺结节的鉴别诊断中也应予以考虑。
