The relationship between thyroid and breast diseases has been documented, but the clinical significance of Graves' disease and breast cancer is unclear. We present a young patient with a history of Graves' disease who developed a multicentric infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast several months after discontinuing her treatment with propylthiouracil. Early-onset breast cancer in women without a family history of early breast cancer may be related to hyperthyroidism. The relationship between thyroid hormone and estrogen is discussed.
甲状腺与乳腺疾病之间的关系已有文献记载,但格雷夫斯病与乳腺癌的临床意义尚不清楚。我们报告一名有格雷夫斯病病史的年轻患者,在停用丙硫氧嘧啶治疗数月后发生了多中心浸润性乳腺导管癌。无早期乳腺癌家族史的女性早发性乳腺癌可能与甲状腺功能亢进有关。本文还讨论了甲状腺激素与雌激素之间的关系。
