Summary:The presence of TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) is rarely responsible for hyperthyroidism due to metastatic lesions of thyroid carcinoma. A 70-year-old woman was incidentally found to be thyrotoxic around the time that external irradiation was performed for multiple bone metastases 9 years after subtotal thyroidectomy for follicular carcinoma. Hyperthyroidism persisted after oral administration of thiamazole. Relevant laboratory data were as follows： FT4 9.6 ng/L, FT3 7.3 ng/L, TSH
