<abstract language="eng">We describe a 65-year-old male of Graves’ disease with thyroid-associated orbitopathy who developed thrombocytopenia during the course of illness. Clinical features, temporal relationship with drugs and investigations supported the diagnosis of immune thrombocytoenic purpura. Several immunosuppressive drugs failed to improve thrombocytopenia. At last platelet count returned back to normal and remained stable with addition of dapsone and restoration of euthyroidism.</abstract>
