  • Look Inside

 A rare case of acute suppurative thyroiditis with dyspnea due to tracheal necrosis is described in a 63-year-old female who has suffered from diabetes for thirty years. The patient presented with hoarseness, dyspnea and a swelling at the anterior neck. An emergency operation for tracheotomy and left lobectomy of the thyroid were performed because of dyspnea. Operative findings revealed a extended thyroid inflammation to the cricoid and the tracheal ring cartilages involving partial necrosis of these tissues. Postoperative course was uneventful with the aid of complete control of diabetes. None of this kind of extensive thyroiditis was found by our survey of literature. This is the first reported case of extensive necrotizing suppurative thyroiditis.
