Extrathyroidal manifestations of autoimmune thyroid disorders include thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, thyroid dermopathy, and thyroid acropachy. Thyroid acropachy is an extreme manifestation of autoimmune thyroid disorder characterized by clubbing and swelling of fingers and toes, with or without periosteal reaction of the distal bones. We present a 50-year-old woman, posttreatment for carcinoma breast (6 years back) and referred for bone scan for generalized body ache. Bone scan findings resulting in detailed clinical evaluation prompted toward the suspicion of a thyroidal disease with ultimate diagnosis of Graves' disease.
自身免疫性甲状腺疾病的甲状腺外表现包括甲状腺相关性眼病、甲状腺皮肤病和甲状腺杵状指(趾)病。甲状腺杵状指(趾)病是自身免疫性甲状腺疾病的一种极端表现,其特征为手指和脚趾杵状膨大及肿胀,伴或不伴有远端骨骼的骨膜反应。我们报告一名50岁女性,6年前曾接受乳腺癌治疗,因全身疼痛转诊进行骨扫描。骨扫描结果引发了详细的临床评估,进而怀疑患有甲状腺疾病,最终诊断为格雷夫斯病。
