Gynecomastia after euthyroidism restoration in a patient with type 1 diabetes and Graves' disease

Valeria Calcaterra et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

In patients with autoimmune disease, gynecomastia should not be considered as 1 of the first signs of hyperthyroidism, rather it is a breast pathology that can be present even when euthyroidism restoration is achieved. It is unknown whether the autoimmune nature of thyroid disorders or simply the hyperthyroidism effects breast changes.

Keywords: Graves’ disease; euthyroidism; gynecomastia; type 1 diabetes.
