Thyroiditis complicating mumps is rare and occurs 1 week after the parotitis. A 9-year-old boy with a history of contact with a case of mumps presented with thyroid swelling. Thyroid scan showed a diffusely reduced uptake. The aspiration cytology showed lymphocytic thyroiditis. Thyroid function tests were normal and antithyroid antibodies were absent. Parotitis occurred 12 days after the onset of thyroiditis.
