Aim: It is hypotethically thought that increased frequency of breast cancer in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT)may be due to the fact that calcium accumulation in the breast may be higher in patients with PHPT giving rise to more breast-related examinations. Although there are many studies or case reports showing calcification in many organs and tissues, in PHPT, there is not any study investigating breast calcification in these patients in the literature. We ai...

Aim: To determine whether early repeat fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) has an effect on adequate or atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance(AUS/FLUS) cytology rates in thyroid nodules with inadequate or AUS/FLUS in the first FNAB.Method: Nodules of patients who underwent repeat biopsy due to insufficient or AUS/FLUS cytology between 2019-2022 were included. Demographic data of the patients and ultrasonograph...

Aim: To determine whether there is any factor that can predict sufficient results in second thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) after first nondiagnostic cytological result.Materials and method: Nodules with non-diagnostic result after first FNAB were included and separated into two groups as sufficient (Group-1) and insufficient (Group-2) second FNAB. Results: Second FNAB was performed on 643 nodules of 443 patients with ...

Aim: Dry eye syndrome(DES) is a common finding in patients with thyroid orbitopathy. There are few studies on DES in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Retinal pathology may develop in case of vitamin E deficiency, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties.Materials and Methods: In our study, 29 patients who received radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment (Group 1) and 22 patients who did not receive RAI treatment (Gro...

Objective: Gonadotroph adenomas are the most common subtype of pituitary adenomas. Rarely, clinical findings may occur due to the secretion of high amounts of biologically active gonadotropins. It may affect platelet activity if there is an excessive increase in the release of estrogen and testosterone or if it is used in pharmacological doses. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether platelet activity indices and coagulation parameters were affected in silent gonadotrop...
