Thyrotoxicosis after severe hypothyroidism in a patient with a history of Hodgkin's lymphoma and neck irradiation

Lewandowski Krzysztof , Dabrowska Katarzyna , Makarewicz Jacek , Lewinski Andrzej

Background: Neck irradiadion is associated with several complications including both hypo- and hyperthyroidism. We present a case of severe hypothyroidism, followed 5 years later by thyrotoxicosis.Case description: A 27-year-old female presented with clinical and biochemical thyrotoxicosis (TSH 0.01 μIU/ml (ref. range: 0.274.2 μIU/ml); FreeT4 1.58 ng/dl (ref. 0.981.63 ng/dl); FreeT3 4.56 pg/ml (ref. 2.64....

Background: Successful parathyroidectomy depends on recognition and excision of all hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands.The aim of the study was to estimate the diagnostic value of PTH concentration in the needle washout after fine-needle aspiration of foci suggestive of enlarged parathyroids in patients (pts) with hyperparathyroidism (HP).Material and methods: Of 18 pts were studied (15 females, 3 males); 16 pts with primary HP (t...
