Abstract

A 31-year-old woman presented with chief complaint of muscle weakness. As this complaint was the most bothersome of all, the patient forgot to mention many other problems that she had. Asking her to remove the face-mask, made us to look for other problems because the typical moon face was masked under the mask!. The other problems were recent weight gain, purple striae on the abdomen, easy bruising and skin acne. She didn’t have hypertension. By reviewing her medical data we found out she had diabetes and was taking metformin. She used to have mild exophthalmos one year ago and thought to be due to thyroid disease but thyroid function tests were normal.
