Review Case Reports[Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism in metastatic thyroid carcinoma].
A 75-year-old man with nodular goitre (for the preceding 2 years treated with 75 micrograms/dl L-thyroxine) complained of pain over the left hip: on auscultation an arterial flow murmur was audible over the hip. The radiograph demonstrated extensive osteolysis in the flat part of the ilium. Search for the primary tumour, including two pelvic angiographs, was unsuccessful. ⋯ Treatment with thiamazole (40 mg/d) and perchlorate (1 g/d) reduced the concentration of peripheral thyroid hormone, but the patient's general condition improved only slowly. As a result, radioiodine treatment could not be started until 9 months later. He died a further 9 months later from septicaemia originating from the metastasis.
