Anemia is the most common hematological involvement， whereas the influence of other cell lines is extremely rare. In this article， the diagnosis and treatment of a 55-year-old female patient with hypothyroidism presenting with pancytopenia as the initial manifestation were reported， and relevant literature review was conducted， aiming to improve clinicians’ diagnosis and treatment levels for this disease.
