Abstract

Muscle involvement in several forms can be the first manifestation of untreated hypothyroidism.[1] Although 75% of patients with acquired hypothyroidism have muscle complaints such as weakness, cramps, and myalgias; muscle hypertrophy is an extremely rare finding.[2] This condition is named as Hoffmann's syndrome and is usually reported in young adults.[3,4] Here, we report distinctive hyperkeratosis and muscle hypertrophy in an adolescent secondary to untreated autoimmune hypothyroidism.
