摘要: ABSTRACTWe report a case of euthyroid Graves ophthalmopathy associated with isolated ocular myasthenia gravis appearing in patient longstanding vitiligo, compatible an autoimmune polyglandular syndrome-3C phenotype. The coexistence these two entities, the absence either overt thyroid dysfunction or generalized features may cause diagnostic confusion.
