Abstract
Isolated tuberculous thyroid abscess is an extremely rare form of infection of the thyroid gland. We present a case of a female patient who presented with an acute abscess of thyroid gland associated with pain and fever and without cervical lymphadenopathy. We describe the pathology of the disease and the imaging findings with their differential diagnosis.
