We report the unusual case of an 87-year-old woman with cardiac myxoma and adenomatous goiter. She exhibited slight elevations of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), but levels of thyroid hormones such as T3, free T3 and free T4 were all abnormally low. Interleukin-6 may potentiate the alteration of thyroid metabolism.
