Abstract
- Systemic sclerosis is associated to lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis of multiple organs. The cause of systemic sclerosis is autoimmune disorder, so systemic sclerosis may be associated with other connective tissue disease or endocrine disease which may be induced by autoantibody. In this case, we experienced 44 year-old woman who presented with sclerosis on hand and upper arms. In serum, tri-iodothyronine (T3), Ca(+2) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) are in high concentration, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and phosphate are in low concentration. She is diagnosed to hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism in systemic sclerosis. Hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism in systemic sclerosis may be rare. We report the case of hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism in systemic sclerosis with review of literature.
