Rheumatic manifestations can reveal hypothyroidism, such as arthritis and nonspecific musculoskeletal symptoms. We report herein the case of an acute polyarthritis revealing Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Hormone replacement therapy leads to the resolution of arthritis related to HT, suggesting the role of thyroid hormone in the pathogenesis of arthritis.
