Abstract
Hyperthyroidism is a rare complication of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). Here, We report the case of a 20-year-old patient who presented with signs of hyperthyroidism during a molar pregnancy. The diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination, laboratory tests, and ultrasound findings. The serum thyroid hormones were elevated and returned to normal level after uterine evacuation of a molar pregnancy. Hyperthyroidism caused by hydatidiform mole is a rare form of pregnancy-induced hyperthyroidism and has a high mortality and life-threatening complication. Limited data are available regarding the optimal treatment, recognition and comprehensive management of the underlying etiology with a multidisciplinary team of endocrinologists, gynecologists and critical care physicians are crucial for a successful outcome.
