Abstract

Acute thyroiditis is very unusual, and fungal thyroiditis is even more rare. Cervical blastomycosis, on one occasion masquerading as a thyroid mass, has been reported. Here we report the first case of acute blastomycosis infection of the thyroid documented by biopsy and imaging studies. The patient was a 23-year-old woodcutter with no history or features of overt immunodeficiency. The initial response to Itraconazole therapy was satisfactory.
