“…Whereas a few reports describe the association of GD with polymyositis (PM) (2,3,(13)(14)(15), dermatomyositis (DM) (16,17), and scleroderma (13,(18)(19)(20)(21) in the English-language literature, there is only one case report describing a patient with GDcomplicated with PMand scleroderma (13).…”

Graves' disease (GD) has been reported to be frequently complicated with other autoimmune diseases. However, it is rarely complicated with scleroderma-polymyositis overlap syndrome. Recently, we encountered a 35-year-old womanwhodeveloped GDand immunethrombocytopenic purpura during follow-up observation of scleroderma-dermatomyositis overlap syndrome. Platelet counts recovered after high-dose y-globulin therapy and bolus methylprednisolone therapy. The present case is the first report of a combination of scleroderma, dermatomyositis, GD, and immunethrombocytopenic purpura. The patient was antiKu antibody-positive and had relatively low natural killer T cell counts, both of which might contribute to the complication of multiple autoimmune diseases.
