Abstract
A 23 yr old man with secondary hypogonadism was also thyrotoxic. Results of thyroid function tests were in the hyperthyroid range but the serum TSH [thyroid stimulating hormone] was inappropriately high. A pituitary tumor was demonstrated and following hypophysectomy he became biochemically hypothyroid. Evidence is presented and discussed that his hyperthyroidism was due to excessive TSH production by the pituitary tumor.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
