It can be caused by an underlying thyroid disease or develop as gestational transient thyrotoxicosis. Molar pregnancy stands out as a pathological condition characterized by abnormal trophoblastic cell growth, which can manifest in benign or malignant forms, and is diagnosed with a disproportionate elevation of <i>β</i>-hCG (beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin) and specific features on ultrasonography including absent sac and large multicystic or honeycomb appearance. A pronounced increase in <i>β</i>-hCG levels can trigger hyperthyroidism, due to the structural resemblance between <i>β</i>-hCG and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), although the thyrotrophic effects of <i>β</i>-hCG could vary between patients diagnosed with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). In this report, we present two cases (Patient 1: 43 years, Patient 2: 31 years) who came to emergency department following a history of vaginal spotting, palpitations, and hyperemesis. In both patients, blood tests indicated disproportionately elevated <i>β</i>-hCG levels along with high levels of Free T4 (FT4) and Free T3 (FT3), as well as suppressed TSH levels. Ultrasonography showed nonviable products of conception with large multicystic hemorrhagic lesions and empty gestational sacs, thereby confirming GTD. The Burch-Wartofsky Point Scale scores were 20 and 15 points, respectively, suggesting that they were less likely to be in thyroid storm at presentation. Antithyroid medications were administered, followed by evacuation of the products of conception. Postoperatively, their thyroid function was normalized. These cases underscore the importance of ruling out thyroid storm, monitoring thyroid function, and treating hyperthyroidism appropriately before undergoing surgical treatment. It is also important to consider the variability in the thyrotrophic effects of <i>β</i>-hCG among individuals diagnosed with GTD. In addition to monitoring free thyroid hormone levels, it is crucial to consider clinical symptoms to effectively manage such cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":9621,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Endocrinology","volume":"2024 ","pages":"5318871"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11377108/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142139416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
