Although clinical manifestations of cocaine use are similar to the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism and research suggests that cocaine may affect the thyroid, no occurrences of cocaine-associated thyroid toxicity have been reported. The authors report a case of Graves' disease in a cocaine-dependent patient and propose that the patient's cocaine use may have precipitated thyroid toxicity.
