  • Title: Thyrotoxic thyroiditis after radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease.
    Author: Blitzer JB, Paolozzi FP, Gottlieb AJ, Zamkoff KW, Chung CT.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1985 Sep; 145(9):1734-5. PubMed ID: 4026505.
    Abstract:
    Exposure of the thyroid gland to ionizing radiation has been associated with a variety of abnormalities. Among these are tardive hypothyroidism and an increased risk of developing thyroid nodules and cancer. Although acute thyroiditis has been known to complicate radioactive iodine 131 therapy, it has rarely been associated with external beam irradiation. Thyrotoxic painless thyroiditis developed in two patients after mantle-field irradiation for Hodgkin's disease.
