In the present paper the various lines of evidence bearing upon the coincidence of these conditions will be reviewed more completely, a somewhat more rigidly controlled series will be analyzed, and the lesions more fully described, than was possible in the earlier report.There are four distinct avenues of approach to the problem of the nature of the interrelation between the liver and the thyroid gland, particularly as it concerns the hyperthyroid state. The gross...References1. WELLER CV: Hepatic lesions associated with exophthalmic goiter, Trans. Assoc Am. Phys., 1930, xlv, 71-75. Google Scholar2.
