摘要：

Graves' disease (GD), myasthenia gravis (MG), and polymyositis (PM) are organ-specific autoimmune diseases. The association between GD and MG is well known, and an association between MG and PM has been reported. However, only one patient with all three diseases has been reported. We describe a patient with GD and PM developing 6 and 29 years, respectively after the onset of MG. This case suggests that the expression of autoimmunity occurred over a prolonged period of time and these organ-specific autoimmune diseases may be induced by a similar mechanism.
