ABSTRACT

The syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormones is a rare disease characterized by high levels of both free thyroxin and free triiodothyronine, as well as normal or slightly elevated levels of thyrotropin in absence of any disease, medication or antagonist that cause alterations on thyroid function. It is reported a case of a woman who was diagnosed with syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormones based on personal history, signs and symptoms, and laboratory findings. In addition, a literature review is presented, with emphasis in diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
