Abstract
Hyperthyroidism due to inappropriate secretion of TSH is rare. It may be due to either TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas (n = 15) or selectiv e pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone action (n = 31). The recogni tion of these patients is of great clinical importance since they shou ld be treated differently than patients with more common forms of hype rthyroidism (Graves' disease, autonomous thyroid nodule).
