Primary hyperthyroidism occurring in association with acromegaly.
Two patients with acromegaly who also developed primary hyperthyroidism are described. One case presented de novo with Graves' disease and acromegaly and the other developed hyperthyroidism several years after the diagnosis of acromegaly had been made. No associated adenomas could be demonstrated. The association between acromegaly and thyroid disease is discussed.
