Background
The panhypopituitarism is a rare endocrine system disease; the clinical presentation of a panhypopituitarism patient can vary from asymptomatic or subclinical cases to life-threatening myxedema coma.

Case report
Our patient is a 55 years old woman who was presented to emergency department with chief complains of weakness. After necessary workup, panhypopituitarism was diagnosed.

Discussion
There are different diagnoses for weakness. In patients with vague complaints such as weakness, we should take their history carefully and perform clinical examinations to reach a definitive diagnosis.
