Abstract:
Hyperthyroidism is seen in 3.5-26% of acromegalic subjects, and can occur through TSH-dependent or independent mechanisms. Thyrotoxicosis as the first presenting illness in acromegaly is particularly uncommon, as described in this patient who had both acromegaly and a toxic thyroid adenoma.
