Brief description/objective

We report a case of Graves' disease in a patient who initially received carbimazole therapy, which was switched to propylthiouracil due to adverse effects. After 14 months of propylthiouracil therapy, the patient developed cutaneous ANCA-associated vasculitis. Prompt cessation of propylthiouracil and topical treatment led to complete resolution of the skin lesions.
