In the previous paper we reported transient hyperthyroidism associated with chronic thyroiditis. In this paper Graves's disease-like state associated with chronic thyroiditis is reported. A 36 year-old female patient showed mild hypothyroid state at the first visit. Radioactive iodine uptake, however, was extremely high. Later she developed permanent hyperthyroidism with definite laboratory data. T_3 suppression test indicated a negative response. LATS was negative. Histologic examination revealed the presence of chronic thyroiditis, with no indication of Graves's disease. When considering this patient among the patients discussed in the previous paper it is considered that there are two forms of hyperthyroidism in patients with chronic thyroiditis: transient and permanent forms (Graves's disease-like state). To differenciate these two forms radioactive iodine uptake of the thyroid during hyperthyroidism is considered as a valuable tool.
