Abstract
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.
