Abstract

The first report on isolated thyroid tuberculosis was made by Alters in 1847. To date, we have found a description of 132 more observations in the Russian and foreign literature. Out of 167 patients operated on by us on the thyroid gland, one was diagnosed with isolated tuberculosis, accompanied by hyperthyroidism.
