A case report of immune thrombocytopenic purpura as a rare Harbinger of Graves’ disease

Graves’ disease is one of the most common forms of autoimmune hyperthyroidism and has been linked with multiple or family histories of autoimmune diseases. In most cases, Graves' disease diagnosis is easily made by recognizing goiter, ophthalmopathy, and hyperthyroid symptoms. However, in some cases, the symptoms are atypical and potentially be misdiagnosed. We presented a patient with immune thrombocytopenic purpura as an initial symptom of Graves' disease in a patient with family history of Graves' disease.
