The aim of this article is to review and retrieve data about thyroid tuberculosis from the English\u2010language literature in order to gain a better understanding of the clinical characteristics of TTB.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed Medline, PubMed, and library searches using the key words \u201cthyroid tuberculosis,\u201d \u201cthroid disease,\u201d \u201ctuberculosis and thyroid.\u201d Reference lists of the articles obtained and previous reviews were also examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrieved 76 cases matching our selection criteria from the search. Review of the cases with TTB revealed a slight female preponderance. The patients reported in the literature ranged in age from 9 to 83 years, with a median age of 40 \u00b1 16 years for men and 44 \u00b1 17 years for women. In the articles surveyed, TTB presented with a broad spectrum of manifestations, ranging from an isolated nodule to thyrotoxicosis. It seems that diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis has recently been increasing, perhaps because of the growing incidence of tuberculosis and the diagnostic use of fine\u2010needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis. Although, in the past, the diagnosis was genarally made by the examination of the specimens, at present, fine\u2010needle aspiration cytology seems to be a useful method in diagnosis tuberculous thyroiditis.The role of surgery is limited after the diagnosis. The choice of treatment should be medical antituberculous therapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusi\u0131ons<\/jats:title><jats:p>Preoperative diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis is important because of the availability of medical treatment and the limited role of surgery.
