Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.3, pp.304-306. Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160313.
Introduction:
Raynaud's phenomenon of the nipple is a rare pathology. It can occur associated with hyperthyroidism or autoimmune connective tissue diseases. We report a case associated with hyperthyroidism.
Case study:
a 39-year-old woman consulted for nipple pain, which worsened with breastfeeding, one month after childbirth. Raynaud's phenomenon of the nipple was diagnosed, which improved with nifedipine. Three months later the patient developed fever. Blood test revealed thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) 0.0008 mU/L (normal 0.55-4.75 mU/L) and free T4 48 pg/mL (normal 2.30-4.20 pg/mL). Antithyroglobulin antibodies were >500 IU/mL. T3, antiperoxidase antibodies (TPO), and thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin were normal. Postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) was diagnosed. Two months later, TSH and free T4 levels returned to normal.
Conclusion:
our patient presented PPT associated with Raynaud's phenomenon.
