ABSTRACT

Goitre is defined as the presence of amyloid within the thyroid gland in such quantities as to produce a clinically apparent enlargement. We report a case on a fifty-two-year-old female patient who presented with a rapidly growing thyroid swelling. Thyroid function tests were normal. This case was diagnosed as amyloid goitre and was discussed in detail along with review of literature.
