Description
Laila AlBishi reports a young girl whose thyroid lump shrank away once her hormone lack was treated, in a 2026 case report. The child had Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome, a rare result of long-untreated low thyroid function in children, marked by early puberty signs despite the hormone lack. The six-year-old Saudi girl had vaginal bleeding and months of breast development, and doctors felt a lump on the right side of her thyroid.
Tests showed severe thyroid failure, high prolactin, delayed bone age, cystic ovaries, and a swollen pituitary gland. On thyroid hormone pills, her levels settled and the lump, gland swelling, and cysts all shrank while her growth improved. The author notes this reversible lump as a first for the syndrome.
