Résumé : It has been known for a long time that in Graves's disease hyperplasia of the cervical nodes which drain thyroid lymph may occur. “Enlargement of the lymphatic glands, moderate in degree and not progressive, may develop rapidly and slowly subside” (Gowers, 1888). In particular the left subtrapezoid or pretrapezoid chain appears to be involved (Gueneau de Mussy, 1881). As this sign has been almost forgotten in recent years and may be useful in diagnosis where other signs and symptoms are atypical, a further case is presented below. © 1971, British Medical Journal Publishing Group.
