Tuberculosis (TB) of the thyroid gland, either in its primary or secondary form, is an extremely rare occurrence. It is infrequent even in countries with high incidence and prevalence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB. We report here a case of primary tuberculosis of thyroid presenting to us with sudden onset thyroid swelling since 20 days.
