| Popis: | Euthyroid Graves' disease (EGD) is a rare condition marked by the onset of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) in the absence of thyroid dysfunction. The pathogenesis of EGD remains unclear, and a consistent view of the pathological findings of the thyroid tissue has yet to be determined. We herein report a case of EGD in a 34-year-old woman with papillary carcinoma treated with total thyroidectomy. The entire thyroid specimen was investigated, and the thyroid tissue appeared normal. In this report, we discuss the relationship between the pathogenesis of TAO and thyroid dysfunction. |
