  • Title: Radiotherapy-associated euthyroid Graves ophthalmopathy following floor-of-mouth surgery: a case report.
    Author: Jaber JJ, Thomas FJ, Carfrae MJ, Galati LT.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2008 Sep; 87(9):533-6. PubMed ID: 18800329.
    Abstract:
    The thyroid gland is commonly included in the radiation field during treatment of nonthyroidal neoplastic disease of the head and neck. As a result, thyroid abnormalities sometimes occur following external irradiation. We report an unusual case of radiotherapy-associated Graves ophthalmopathy 5 months after adjuvant external irradiation of the head and neck in a euthyroid patient who had undergone wide local excision of squamous cell carcinoma from the floor of the mouth.
