Background: Macro-TSH, a rare condition, should be considered in asymptomatic patients presenting with a biological profile of subclinical hypothyroidism, thus avoiding unnecessary treatment. We report the case of a patient with macro-TSH.Case Presentation: A 41-year-old man was transferred from the Cardiology Department for further exploration of elevated TSH. He has been hospitalized for acute decompensation of heart failure. A thyroid workup revealed ...
