초록

저자들은 복수나 심낭액, 심부전의 소견 없이 갑상선기능저하증에 의해 발생한 일측성 흉막액을 진단하고, levothyroxine sodium 치료로 호전을 보인 환자 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Serous effusions have been most commonly associated with ascites, pericardial effusion, and heart failure. But, they have been considered to be an unusual form of complication in hypothyroidism and pleural effusion, which has been observed as an isolated finding in hypothyroidism is apparently rare and complete analysis of these types of hypothyroid-associated pleural effusions has yet not been described. We report a case of hypothyroidism associated with unilateral pleural effusion in a 77 year-old male patient who was improved through levothyroxine sodium with brief review of the literature.
