Searching in the English literature for previous studies, we identified only 30 cases worldwide to form our database. A demographic as well as clinical, laboratory, and histopathological analysis was performed. In most cases, the recovery of biochemical euthyroidism through the use of ATDs induced the resolution of pancytopenia (at laboratory and histological levels). Our review provides clinical, laboratory, and histopathological features of Graves's hyperthyroidism-related pancytopenia with a view to improving the knowledge of this rare hematological complication and assisting in the decision-making process regarding therapeutic options.
