History inquiry revealed that the patient had undergone microwave ablation of right-sided thyroid nodule nearly five months ago at another hospital. The patient's thyroid ultrasound suggested bilateral diffuse thyroid lesions, with a moderately echogenic mass observed on the right side of the thyroid gland, potentially indicative of thyroid nodule ablation. The patient had elevated serum thyroid hormone levels, decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and positive associated thyroid antibodies.

While the causal relationship between microwave ablation and Graves' disease remains unproven, this case suggests that preexisting autoimmune thyroid conditions may increase susceptibility to postoperative thyroid dysfunction. Procedural factors, such as thermal injury to surrounding tissues and potential involvement of the autonomic nervous system, are also potential contributors to the development of Graves' disease following microwave ablation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9152,"journal":{"name":"BMC Endocrine Disorders","volume":"25 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11702180/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142944736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
