A 49-year-old woman was admitted to our university hospital for examination of a neck mass. Computed tomography and ultrasonography revealed a nodule in her thyroid gland and a swollen cervical lymph node. They were removed surgically; a subsequent histological study revealed an epithelioid cell granuloma. A diagnosis of localized tuberculosis of the thyroid gland and a cervical lymph node was thus confirmed. The data of the present case were discussed with reference to the characteristics of thyroid tuberculosis described in the literature.
一名49岁女性因颈部肿块入院,在我们大学医院接受检查。计算机断层扫描和超声检查发现其甲状腺有一个结节以及一个肿大的颈部淋巴结。这些病变被手术切除;随后的组织学研究显示为上皮样细胞肉芽肿。由此确诊为甲状腺及颈部淋巴结局限性结核。结合文献中描述的甲状腺结核的特征,对本病例的数据进行了讨论。
