Thyroid abscess is rare but potentially fatal, whereas subclinical thyroiditis is a self-limiting condition that is more commonly seen. The clinical features of both diseases can be overlapping but the treatment approach differs. We report a case of a painful left thyroid nodule not responding to conventional therapy for thyroiditis or thyroid abscess.
甲状腺脓肿很少见,但可能致命,而亚临床甲状腺炎是一种更常见的自限性疾病。两种疾病的临床特征可能重叠,但治疗方法不同。我们报告了一例左侧甲状腺结节疼痛,对甲状腺炎或甲状腺脓肿的常规治疗无反应。
