Abstract
A 12-year-old boy presented to us with a diagnosis of disseminated tuberculosis which was made based on a history of prolonged fever, multiple neck swellings and radiological findings of bilateral multiple micronodular opacities. Examination showed a diffuse thyroid gland swelling. He was diagnosed to have papillary thyroid carcinoma with distant metastases to cervical lymphnode on histopathology and to lungs.
