This study details a patient experiencing hypercalcemia (high blood calcium) due to subacute thyroiditis. This finding expands the known causes of hypercalcemia beyond typical hyperthyroid conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Hypercalcemia is frequently associated with thyrotoxicosis.
  • Previous reports linked hypercalcemia to Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, or toxic adenoma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of hypercalcemia caused by subacute thyroiditis.
  • To highlight a less common etiology of hypercalcemia in the context of thyroid dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • A detailed case history of a patient presenting with relevant symptoms was reviewed.
  • Laboratory test results, including thyroid hormone levels and serum calcium, were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • A young woman presented with neck pain, fever, and elevated free thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels with suppressed thyrotropin.

  • Concurrent hypercalcemia was observed.
  • Diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis was confirmed.
  • Thyroid hormone and calcium levels normalized within one month.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subacute thyroiditis can be a cause of hypercalcemia.
    • This case expands the spectrum of thyroid conditions associated with hypercalcemia.
