Abstract

Granulomatous disease of the thyroid commonly presents as sub acute (De Quervain) thyroiditis [1]. Necrotizing granulomas in thyroid have been reported with infection (tuberculous [2] and fungal [3]), granulomatosis with polyangiitis [4], plasma cell granuloma[5], post-surgical/palpation thyroiditis [6] and rarely in sarcoidosis (usually causes non-necrotizing granulomas). We present a case of necrotizing granulomas within thyroid of unclear etiology associated with sudden profound hypothyroidism.

Keywords: Necrotizing granulomas; Hypothyroidism; Tuberculosis; Subacute thyroiditis
