Abstract
Subacute thyroiditis usually recovers completely, and recurrences are unfrequent. We report hereafter the case of a 70-year-old man with a t ypical diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis. He reported a similar episod e 20 years earlier, followed by a mild but persistent hypothyroidism. This case reminds that recurrence of subacute thyroiditis can occur ev en after many years.
