    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Graves' disease typically presents with hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis).
    • Recent findings indicate a euthyroid form of Graves' disease in untreated individuals.
    • Emerging reports suggest a hypothyroid manifestation of Graves' disease.

    Observation:

    • Three patients with nonthyrotoxic Graves' disease and coexisting hypothyroidism were studied.
    • Detailed investigations were conducted to understand this unusual combination.
    • The patients presented with hypothyroidism despite having Graves' disease.

    Findings:

    • The study investigated the multifaceted nature of Graves' disease.
    • Results shed light on the spectrum of Graves' disease, extending to hypothyroidism.
    • The combination of Graves' disease and hypothyroidism was analyzed.

    Implications:

    • This research highlights the complex and varied presentations of Graves' disease.
    • The findings support the recognition of a hypothyroid form of Graves' disease.
    • The term 'hypothyroid Graves' disease' is proposed as a justifiable label for this condition.
