SUMMARY

A case report is presented giving details of a patient who showed the unusual combination of secondary hypothyroidism associated with primary testicular disease; the latter was probably prepubertal in origin, and there was evidence of eunuchoidism. Reference is made to previous reports of the co-existence of deficiency in both thyroid and testis, and to possible mechanisms involved in the relationships which may exist between these conditions.
