There is at the present time little amount of literature on tuberculous infect-ion of the thyroid gland by numerous surgeons with extensive experience in thyroid surgery. In literature, RokitanskYO stated that tuberculosis of the thyroid gland was nonexistent, while Virchow assumed it to be extremely rare.
With the advent of thyroid surgery, case reports of tuberculosis of the thyroid gland began to appear in the literature, the diagnosis having been made in the - majority of cases on the basis of extensive microscopic examinations of surgically removed goiters. Since then, case reports have been given a number of c"linir.ians and at the present time the total number of recorded cases of tuberculasis of the thyroid gland is over 150 cases´"). But a recent monograph on thyroid devotes one sentence to this condition by referring the reader to old textbooks.
Author is to report a case of tuberculous abscess of the thyroid gland, tog-ether with review of the world literature.
