| Résumé : | Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder of thyroid which is characterized by hyperthyroidism, diffuse goiter, ophthalmopathy. Due to the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease, the disease affects both thyroid lobes. Unilateral involvement of the thyroid gland in patients with Graves’ disease is a rare entity, which suggests a difference between the two thyroid lobes. Clarifying this phenomenon could be a line of research for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of Graves's disease. This entity must be known to the clinician in order to take it better and avoid misdiagnosis. Here we present two cases of Graves’ disease which had unilateral involvement of the thyroid gland and discuss the hypotheses explaining this observation. |
