Abstract
Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome is a very rare disorder characterized by partial resistance of the target tissue to thyroid hormone. We present a case of a 52 year old male with hypothyroidism and selective peripheral resistance to thyroid hormone. who required very high doses of thyroid hormone to relieve his symptoms. TSH remained very low suggesting normal pituitary response.
