A woman with Graves' disease and unsuspected coexisting thyroid cancer is presented. Although rare, this association has to be considered. It has been noticed that thyroid cancer is more common in hyperthyroid than euthyroid persons. Thus, thyroid scintigraphy is very important in the initial workup of Graves' disease. It helps determine whether medical or surgical therapy is more appropriate in a particular patient.
本文介绍了一位患有格雷夫斯病且同时患有未被怀疑的甲状腺癌的女性。尽管这种关联很罕见，但必须予以考虑。人们已经注意到，甲状腺癌在甲状腺功能亢进的人群中比甲状腺功能正常的人群中更为常见。因此，甲状腺闪烁扫描在格雷夫斯病的初始检查中非常重要。它有助于确定在特定患者中药物治疗还是手术治疗更为合适。
