Graves' disease was diagnosed in a 35-year old woman with a history of myxoedema in childhood. Clinical data, ultrasonography and radioisotope scanning showed that the disease had developed in an ectopic subhyoid thyroid gland. Although numerous thyroid diseases associated with an ectopic thyroid have been described, Graves' disease does not seem to be frequent since only one case has been published so far.

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
