A 20-year-old woman with a 10-month history of treatment for Graves' disease (GD), developed hypothyroidism with a high level of thyrotropin (TSH) receptor-blocking antibodies (TBAbs). She conceived at 28 years old and was clinically euthyroid in the first and second trimester, while taking L-thyroxine. ⋯ Her thyroid function normalized, but the neonate became hyperthyroid. We herein report the first case of a shift in dominance from TBAbs to TSAbs in late pregnancy.

Review Case Reports
A Pancreatic Collision Tumor Comprising Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
A collision tumor is a rare clinical condition where two different tumors occur synchronically within a lesion. Pancreatic collision tumors with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are extremely rare and have only been reported in one case to date. ⋯ The patient received palliative therapy and died 23 months after the diagnosis. Further research and case studies are required to investigate whether or not MCL-derived cyclin D1 overexpression affects the occurrence/growth of adenocarcinomas.
