Abstrakt: Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is a rare and possibly fatal thyroid disease. A case with "sore throat one month accompanied by left neck mass for two weeks" as the main presentation was reported. The clinical presentation was atypical, and was mistaken for subacute thyroiditis. She was treated with glucocorticoid. The diagnosis of AST was confirmed after ultrasoundguided fine needle aspiration, due to poor efficacy. The features of AST patients over the age of fifty years were also analyzed.
