Abstract
Patients with Graves’ disease are common to all general endocrine outpatient clinics and management options for these individuals are generally straight forward. Thyroid nodules are also frequently encountered and can present more of a clinical challenge. Less common is the finding of thyroid nodules associated with Graves’ and these individuals may require greater consideration. This case addresses the treatment options available for Graves’ disease along with the management and investigation of thyroid nodules.
