This case report details the unusual presentation and successful management of a 25-year-old male diagnosed with both hyperthyroidism and adrenal insufficiency. The patient initially presented with symptoms of fatigue, weight loss, and palpitations, with no significant past medical history. Further evaluation revealed elevated thyroid hormone levels and decreased cortisol levels, confirming the diagnosis of concurrent hyperthyroidism and adrenal insufficiency. The complexity of managing these coexisting endocrine disorders required a multidisciplinary approach. Techniques utilized included detailed hormonal assays, imaging studies, and dynamic endocrine testing. The therapeutic regimen involved the administration of antithyroid medications, beta-blockers for symptom control, and glucocorticoid replacement therapy. This report underscores the importance of considering multiple endocrine disorders in patients with nonspecific systemic symptoms and highlights the need for individualized treatment plans to address the unique challenges presented by such comorbidities.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can trigger immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The appearance pattern of irAEs, who is prone to them, and their mechanisms are still uncertain. In this study, we aimed to monitor patients initiated on ICIs for endocrinological aspects and to investigate the potential predictive markers in the development of endocrine-irAEs.
