Abstract

Fungal thyroiditis is extremely rare and its true incidence still happens to be the tip of an iceberg. We present here the case of an immunocompetent 35-year-old woman who presented with a left thyroid nodular goiter, and an incidental detection of Aspergillus infection. The accurate diagnosis of thyroid Aspergillosis is important, since there is every need to prevent further complications due to the occurrence of a disseminated disease. We report a case of 35-year-old woman presenting with a solitary left thyroid nodule.
