Key clinical message: In this case report we describe a patient with Grave's disease (GD) who was first diagnosed with pancytopenia and did not have any typical symptoms of GD. His hematologic abnormalities were alleviated after treatment with an anti-thyroid drug. Hence, in patients with pancytopenia, GD should also be considered.
Abstract: A variety of hematologic abnormalities can be seen in Graves' disease (GD), however; here, we describe a patient with GD and a very rare complication; pancytopenia. His hematologic abnormalities and clinical status were alleviated after treatment with an anti-thyroid drug. Hence, in patients with pancytopenia and normal bone marrow examination, GD should also be considered.
Keywords: Graves' disease; case report; pancytopenia; thyrotoxicosis.
