Abstrakt: Elevated concentrations of T3 and T4 concomitant with nonsuppressed TSH are found in both TSH-producing tumors and resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ), posing a diagnostic challenge. We demonstrate here a 54-year-old female who presented with palpitations, goiter, and elevated free T4 with nonsuppressed TSH concentrations (TSH 2.2 mIU/L [normal range, NR 0.27-4.2 mIU/L] and FT4 59.08 pmol/L [NR 12.0-22.0 pmol/L]). Because magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pituitary microadenoma (4 mm), she was diagnosed with TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma and underwent transsphenoidal surgery. Pathological reports showed no tumor cells. Subsequent genetic testing revealed a pathogenic variant in the THRB gene resulting in a His435Arg amino acid substitution in the T3 receptor isoform beta 1 (TRβ1), suggestive of RTHβ. In vitro and ex vivo studies revealed that the His435Arg mutated TRβ1 (TRβ1-H435R) completely abolishes the T3-induced transcriptional activation, nuclear receptor corepressor 1 release, steroid receptor coactivator 1 recruitment, and T3-induced thyroid hormone target gene expression, confirming the pathogenicity of this variant. The identification of a pituitary microadenoma in a patient with RTHβ led to a misdiagnosis of a TSH-producing tumor and unnecessary surgery. Genetic testing proved pivotal for an accurate diagnosis, suggesting earlier consideration in similar clinical scenarios.
