- Abstract
- Sunitinib is a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor used to treat metastatic renal cell carcinoma and imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Hypothyroidism is a common side effect of sunitinib therapy. Nevertheless, overt thyrotoxicosis induced by destructive thyroiditis after sunitinib treatment is very rare. Here, we report a patient with overt thyrotoxicosis related to sunitinib therapy.
