RIEDEL’S THYROIDITIS
Abstract
INTRODUCTIONEnlargement of thyroid gland can be due to many causes including such innocuous entities as puberty goiter and potentially fatal malignant tumors. The enlargement may be mild or huge, depending upon the underlying pathology and duration of the disease process. We present a case of thyroid enlargement, which turned out to be due to the rare entity of Riedel’s thyroiditis.
