Abstract EN
Various endocrine manifestations are commonly described in myotonic dystrophy (MD), including primary hypogonadism, diabetes mellitus, and thyroid and parathyroid dysfunction.
We describe a 46-year-old woman with a family history of MD with her son.
She was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia and required the implantation of a pacemaker.
She was noted to have a bilateral cataract.
She complained of muscle weakness, diffuse myalgia, and palpitation.
The electromyography (EMG) showed myotonic discharges.
Laboratory tests showed high serum calcium 2.83 mmol/L, serum phosphate 1.2 mmol/L, parathormone 362.5 pg/mL, thyroid stimulating hormone TSH 0.02 mIU/L (normal range: 0.34–5.6 mIU/L), FT4 21.17 ng/mL, and negative anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies.
Cervical ultrasound revealed a multinodular goiter.
The 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy localized a lower right parathyroid adenoma.
The clinical data, the family history of MD, EMG data, and endocrine disturbances were strongly suggestive of MD associated with hyperthyroidism and primary hyperparathyroidism.
