Introduction: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is the most frequent cancer of the thyroid. PTC may rarely coexist with Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Furthermore, the association of PTC and graves’ disease (GD) has been described and the existence of a link between these entities has long been investigated, but no clear correlation has been established. We report the case of a female patient who suffered from GD, PTC and PHPT.Observation: A 34...
