Consumptive hypothyroidism is a rare syndrome resulting from increased catabolism of T(4) and T(3) by increased type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase (D3) activity. Consumptive hypothyroidism has primarily been described as a paraneoplastic syndrome in infants as well as in two adults with D3-expressing tumors.
