Article Synopsis
- Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a rare disorder that can lead to complications like secondary clinical hyperthyroidism, particularly in perimenopausal women.
- A case presented involved a 50-year-old woman who showed symptoms like severe abdominal pain, abnormal bleeding, and hormonal imbalances, ultimately diagnosed with GTD and a hydatidiform mole after surgery.
- The management included anti-thyroid medication and surgery, after which her thyroid function normalized, emphasizing the need to consider GTD when diagnosing thyrotoxicosis in this demographic.
