Abstract
Tuberculosis of the thyroid gland is a very rare condition. A case of a 47-year-old female with a history of a euthyroid multi-nodular goitre is presented. The patient developed hoarseness due to right recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, confirmed with indirect laryngoscopy. On repeated ultrasound, volumetric progression of a dominant nodule in the inferior part of the right thyroid lobe was noticed. Fine needle aspiration was inconclusive. Diagnosis was ultimately based on histopathology of the surgical resection specimen.
