Currently, antithyroid drugs (ATDs), radioiodine therapy (RIT), and surgery are mainly used in the clinical treatment for primary hyperthyroidism. We reported a case of a 28-year-old female who received a novel treatment for primary hyperthyroidism. This patient had poor control of thyroid function while taking ATD, and her oral Methimazole (MMI) dose varied repeatedly between 20\u200amg qd and 15\u200amg qd, failing to maintain a stable status. To minimize the possible complication and to achieve drug reduction or withdrawal, she refused RIT and surgery and showed up in our department. The patient, diagnosed with Graves\u2019 disease (GD) and met the surgical indication after systematic clinical evaluation, was subject to ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) of the partial thyroid gland with continuous oral administration of 20\u200amg qd MMI. The post-ablation condition was stable and the patient was discharged 2 days after the operation. Thyroid ultrasound and serum thyroid function test were examined regularly after ablation and the MMI dosage was gradually reduced according to the results of the biochemical examination. Five weeks after the operation, the patient completely discontinued the medication. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation is minimally invasive, safe, and effective, and has potential to be an alternative treatment besides the 3 classical treatments of hyperthyroidism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ch-211180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]],"date-time":"2021-06-04T12:42:10Z","timestamp":1622810530000},"page":"435-444","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["US-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for hyperthyroidism and immediate treatment response evaluation with contrast-enhanced ultrasound"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"Jing-E.","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Minimally Invasive Treatment for Tumor","place":["China"]},{"name":"Tongji University","place":["China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Ultrasound Diagnosis and Treatment","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui-Li","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Minimally Invasive Treatment for Tumor","place":["China"]},{"name":"Tongji University","place":["China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Ultrasound Diagnosis and Treatment","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Song-Yuan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Minimally Invasive Treatment for Tumor","place":["China"]},{"name":"Tongji University","place":["China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Ultrasound Diagnosis and Treatment","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui-Xiong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Minimally Invasive Treatment for Tumor","place":["China"]},{"name":"Tongji University","place":["China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Ultrasound Diagnosis and Treatment","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","first-page":"808","article-title":"Treatment guidelines for patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism","volume":"273","author":"Singer PA","year":"1995","unstructured":"SingerPA, CooperDS, LevyEG, LadensonPW, BravermanLE, DanielsG, et al.
