Abstract
We report a case of Hoffmann’s syndrome with muscle hypertrophy complicating hypothyroidism, in an adult
patient. Clinical manifestations, laboratory investigations and electromyography findings were documented. This case
was reported because of its rarity and to emphasize the effects of hypothyroidism on muscular tissues so as to avoid delay
in diagnosis and mismanagement. The reporting of Hoffman's Syndrome is very rare from Africa, and probably this is the
first case from Sudan.
