Resistance to Thyroid Hormone Beta Due to THRB Mutation in a Patient Misdiagnosed With TSH-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma

Elevated concentrations of T3 and T4 concomitant with nonsuppressed TSH are found in both TSH-producing tumors and resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ), posing a diagnostic challenge. We demonstrate here a 54-year-old female who presented with palpitations, goiter, and elevated free T4 with nonsuppressed TSH concentrations (TSH 2.2 mIU/L [normal range, NR 0.27-4.2 mIU/L] and FT4 59.08 pmol/L [NR 12.0-22.0 pmol/L]). Because magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pituitary microadenoma (4 mm), she was diagnosed with TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma and underwent transsphenoidal surgery. Pathological reports showed no tumor cells. Subsequent genetic testing revealed a pathogenic variant in the
