Question: Hyperthyroidism can be caused by all of the following EXCEPT: options: 1) A pituitary gland tumor releasing excess TSH. 2) A diet rich in iodine. 3) Tumors producing excess thyroid hormone. 4) Autoantibodies stimulating the thyroid gland. 5) Excessive production T3/T4.

Option 1: A pituitary gland tumor releasing excess TSH. This is a classic cause of secondary hyperthyroidism, since excess TSH stimulates the thyroid to produce more T3 and T4. Therefore, this option describes a valid cause and is not the exception.

Option 2: A diet rich in iodine. Although iodine excess can influence thyroid function, it is not typically listed as a direct, primary cause of hyperthyroidism in the same way as Graves disease, toxic nodules, or TSH-secreting pituitary tumors. In many contexts, iodine excess is more associated with precipitating hyperthyroidism in susceptible individuals rather than being a primary, standalone cause across the board. This makes it the best candidate for the EXCEPT among the options provided.

Option 3: Tumors producing excess thyroid hormone. Autonomous thyroid tumors (toxic adenoma or toxic multinodular goiter) secrete thyroid hormone independent of TSH and are well-established causes of hyperthyroidism. This option is a correct cause.

Option 4: Autoantibodies stimulating the thyroid gland. Autoimmune stimulation, such as in Graves disease, leads to increased thyroid hormone production and is a well-known cause of hyperthyroidism. This option is a correct cause.

Option 5: Excessive production T3/T4. Direct overproduction of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) by the gland is the defining mechanism of hyperthyroidism, so this is clearly a correct cause.

In summary, while iodine excess can influence thyroid activity in certain individuals, it is not typically considered a direct, universal cause of hyperthyroidism in the same way as the other options. This makes option 2 the EXCEPT in the context of the question.

Question at position 61 Hyperthyroidism can be caused by all of the following EXCEPT:A pituitary gland tumor releasing excess TSH.A diet rich in iodine.Tumors producing excess thyroid hormone.Autoantibodies stimulating the thyroid gland.Excessive production T3/T4.
