, Rania Ahmed Abu ElMatty;
Abstract
Hyperthyroidism affects about 2 % of women and 0.2 % of men, The commonest cause being Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, cytokines produced by intrathyroidal lymphocytes are likely to be involved in the induction and maintenance of the autoimmune process.

Angiogenesis is a process by which new blood vessels are formed.
Angiogenesis occurs in thyroid disease like goiter, graves' disease,
