[Atrophic thyroiditis: an unusual course of a Basedow-like variation of Hashimoto disease. Apropos of a case].
This case concerns a 27-year-old man with a very high level of anti-thyroid antibody and pretibial elephantiasis myxedema which developed progressively over several years following subtotal thyroidectomy for << hashitoxicosis >>. Complementary resection of the thyroid stump was performed ; under microscopic examination this stump presented an aspect of atrophic thyroiditis. This unusual development towards atrophic thyroiditis raises the problem of the relations between the various forms autoimmune thyroiditis.
