We reported a case of a 27-year-old woman referred for evaluation of a painless thyroid mass suggesting a malignant thyroid tumor. The resected
thyroidectomy material had been diagnosed as adenocarcinoma metastasis in a private pathology laboratory. Finally, the case had been diagnosed as a
chronic inflammatory change secondary to supurative Brucella thyroiditis. She had normal thyroid function. We have con¬cluded that in endemic
areas for brucellosis, the diagnosis of Brucella infection of the thyroid should be considered in non-febrile patients with cold nodules. ©2008, Firat
