To describe a case of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) secondary to COVID-19 in the primary health care (PHC). ⋯ We presented the case of a patient who was treated in a PHC facility for rare findings of SAT secondary to mild COVID-19, concomitant with a thyroid nodule that had complete remission after approximately 3 months and was interpreted as an inflammatory pseudo nodule secondary to SAT. PHC professionals should be aware of this condition and conduct adequate follow-up of these patients.
