Reports have linked thyroid dyscrasias with inflammatory bowel disease and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid with Crohn’s disease. Here is presented a rare case of a patient with co-existing hyperthyroidism, papillary carcinoma of the thyroid and Crohn’s disease. After a 7-year history of Crohn’s disease that was resistant to medical management our patient developed hyperthyroidism and through a thyroidectomy her pathology report relieved papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. To the best of our knowledge these three pathologies have not simultaneously een presented in the current literature. This association is a novel finding and with further advances in research,our approach towards patients with Crohn’s disease might change.
