Cavernous haemangioma of the thyroid usually presents as a benign, solitary nodule mimicking colloid goitre. Depending upon the size, the symptoms may vary. Here we present a similar case report of a patient for whom we couldn’t make a definite diagnosis clinically or radiologically or by cytology. The patient underwent surgery and biopsy was reported as cavernous haemangioma of thyroid. Post-operative period was uneventful.
