- Abstract
The detection of thyroid cancer in patients with Graves' disease (GD) is rare. The prognosis of thyroid cancer in patients with concomitant GD is controversial. Here, we present a rare case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (TC) associated with GD in a 23-year-old woman who presented with goiter and thyrotoxicosis symptoms and was initially diagnosed as GD. However, she underwent further investigations in view of suspicious findings and was found to have TC. The patient was subjected to surgery after controlling thyrotoxic features with the help of antithyroid medications.
