Chronic plasma cell pneumonia in a patient with long-standing HIV infection

We report the case of a 27-year-old woman who presented with palpitations, hyperemesis, and weight loss. The patient was found to have laboratory values consistent with hyperthyroidism. A serum pregnancy test was positive for an estimated 8-week gestation. After an ultrasound diagnosis of a molar pregnancy, the patient underwent a uterine evacuation with subsequent resolution of her hyperthyroid status. We provide herein the details of this rarely documented presentation of hyperthyroidism in the setting of gestational trophoblastic disease.
