AbstractMuscle weakness, stiffness and delayed tendon jerk relaxation are usual features of hypothyroidism while muscle hypertrophy, myoedema and wasting are occasionally seen. A 60-year-old male, who presented with proximal muscle weakness and muscle hypertrophy has been reported here. Thyroid function tests, electromyogram and muscle biopsy established the diagnosis of thyroid myopathy with Hoffman's syndrome.
