Four women aged 30, 29, 52 and 43 years presented with what appeared to be subacute thyroiditis (De Quervain's thyroiditis). This disease is characterized by fatigue, a painful thyroid gland and thyrotoxic manifestations. The diagnosis is further based on a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and low tracer uptake during thyroid scintigraphy. Only the first patient showed a typical course. In the second and third ones the painful thyroid was associated with nodular enlargement. Fine needle aspiration cytology was at first consistent with subacute thyroiditis but a repeated aspiration showed papillary carcinoma in the second and anaplastic carcinoma in the third patient. In the fourth one, subacute thyroiditis was accompanied by normochromic anaemia, a low serum albumin concentration and liver function disorders. She made a full recovery without treatment. Thyroid malignancies can mimic subacute thyroiditis. Persistent nodular enlargement of the thyroid is suspicious and requires careful investigation.
