Abstract

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.

His hematologic abnormalities and clinical status were alleviated after treatment with an anti-thyroid drug.
