早在1960年就有人发现高水平β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素(β-HCG)与甲状腺机能亢进症(甲亢)的实验室发现有关。但大部份经验来自女性滋养细胞性疾病,仅几例睾丸绒毛膜癌与甲亢有关的报道,其临床重要性未被确定。病人和方法作者对1973～1989年间得克萨斯州大学癌症中心的睾丸绒毛膜癌和其它伴有β-HCG升高(>50 000mIU/ml)的生殖细胞肿瘤男性病人17例进行回顾性研究,以明确其临床或亚临床型甲亢的发生率及特征。病人 As early as 1960, it was found that high levels of β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) and laboratory findings of hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism) were related. However, most of the experience from women with trophoblastic disease, only a few cases of testicular choriocarcinoma and hyperthyroidism-related reports, its clinical importance has not been identified. Patients and Methods A retrospective study of 17 patients with testicular choriocarcinoma and other male germ cell tumors with elevated β-HCG (> 50,000 mIU / ml) at the University of Texas Cancer Center between 1973 and 1989 was performed to identify The incidence of clinical or subclinical hyperthyroidism and characteristics. patient
