Abstract	A 25 year old woman suddenly developed pain in a neck mass which had been present for 10 years. Aspiration of a large cyst revealed by ultrasonography produced blood stained fluid from which E. coli was subsequently grown. Acute suppurative thyroiditis is the least common inflammation of the gland, and E. coli infection has been reported only once before in the past decade. A technetium scan is helpful in distinguishing acute from subacute thyroiditis.
