Abstract
A patient with known hyperthyroidism was seen at 25 weeks' gestation with a rapidly growing neck mass. She was initially in thyroid storm and received aggressive medical therapy. Two subsequent episodes of thyrotoxicosis occurred during pregnancy in spite of large doses of propylthiouracil. Post partum the patient was diagnosed with a locally advanced thyroid malignancy.
