Abstract
A 61 year-old female case of pernicious anemia complicated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis was reported. In 1970 she noticed swelling of her front neck and was diagnosed to have Hashimoto's thyroiditis with strongly positive thyroid antibody. After treated adequately for nine years, she felt burning of her tongue and headache, and was revealed that she suffered from pernicious anemia complicated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The anemia got better by parenteral treatment of hydroxocobalamine.
Recently the relationship between pernicious anemia and Hashimoto's thyroiditis has drawn attention and their causal development was discussed in this paper.
