\n Silent thyroiditis and Graves’ disease are autoimmune disorders which are common cause of thyrotoxicosis and should be given different treatments. Anamnesis and physical examination are not sufficient in the differential diagnosis of these two diseases, and advanced examinations such as thyroid scintigraphy, iodine reuptake study and thyroid stimulating receptor antibody could be needed. In this case, we present a patient diagnosed with a silent thyroiditis as a result of a thyrotoxicosis of a patient who was following up due to Graves' disease in remission and we aimed to emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis of these two diseases.
