Abstract
The possibility of a significant association between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and systemic lupus erythematosus is of considerable interest. Two cases of coexisting Hashimoto's thyroiditis proved by biopsy and systemic lupus erythematosus proved by the clinical picture and positive lupus erythematosus clot tests contribute to accumulating evidence suggesting such an association.
