Abstract
Brucella infects many organs with various complications but thyroid gland infection is rare. We present a thyroid gland abscess due to brucellosis. The 53 years male pa­tient was admitted to outpatient clinic with complaints of swelling and pain in the anterior part of the neck. The pa­tient\'s thyroid hormones and anti-thyroid antibodies were in normal limits. The cause of thyroid gland abscess was Brucella melitensis. The diagnosis was made based on clinical, radiological, serological and bacterial culture re­sults. The abscess was surgically evacuated and medical treatment was applied. The patient recovered without any sequel.
