Marine-Lenhart syndrome with papillary thyroid carcinoma
Graves' disease with accompanying functioning nodules is known as Marine-Lenhart syndrome. Autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs) also within Graves' thyroid tissue are almost always bening in nature. A 45-year-old man developed hyperthyroidism due to the coexistence of Graves' disease and AFTN. Total thyroidectomy was performed. The hyperfunctioning nodule with centrally hypoactive f...
متن کاملRare Presentation of Marine-Lenhart Syndrome
The combination of autoimmune Graves’ disease with a solitary hot thyroid nodule suppressing the remainder of the thyroid gland is rare. We report a case of Graves’ disease associated with a single hyperfunctioning nodule with suppression of the remaining gland. A 45 year old male patient with past medical history of autoimmune Graves’ disease with severe ophthalmopathy was referred to endocrin...
متن کاملThe oldest case of Marine-Lenhart syndrome?
Thyroid dysfunction is relatively common, with hypothyroidism in women reported to have a prevalence of 4.1 per 1000 population, and 0.8 per 1000 having hyperthyroidism. Unlike hypothyroidism which becomes more prevalent with age, Grave’s disease – autoimmune hyperthyroidism – seems to not do this, with the incidence remaining relatively steady at 1 in 1000 per year between the ages of 35 and 6...
متن کاملAn uncommon case of Marine-Lenhart syndrome Um caso incomum de síndrome de Marine-Lenhart
The term Marine-Lenhart syndrome describes the association between Graves’ disease and autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTN), such as toxic adenoma or toxic multinodular goiter. The two diseases may coexist or may be present at different moments in the same patient. In the literature, there are many reports on the development of Graves’ disease after radioiodine treatment for AFTN, bu...
متن کاملA Case of simultaneous occurrence of Marine – Lenhart syndrome and a papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
BACKGROUND Marine-Lenhart syndrome is defined as the co-occurrence of Graves' disease and functional nodules. The vast majority of autonomous adenomas are benign, whereas functional thyroid carcinomas are considered to be rare. Here, we describe a case of simultaneous occurrence of Marine-Lenhart syndrome and a papillary microcarcinoma embedded in a functional nodule. CASE PRESENTATION A 55 y...
