Abstract
Although we only analyzed a small number of IPPFE cases, HypoT was prevalent among all of them. Characteristic fibrosis in the thyroid gland was observed even in a euthyroid case. Therefore, patients with IPPFE may potentially have thyroid gland dysfunction through a common pathogenesis in both organs.
