Introduction: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) accounts for 5-10% of thyroid cancers.25% of cases may be hereditary related to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 A (MEN2A) and associated with pheochromocytoma. Metastases from CMT are preferentially lymph node chains. However, other localizations are possible such as adrenal metastases which remain exceptional.Observation: We report the case of a 35-year-old patient with CMT for which he underwent thyroide...

This syndrome is associated with obesity, menstrual irregularity, infertility, hirsutism and insulin resistance. It has been reported that PCOS is frequently associated with hyperprolactinemia with ranges from 17 to 50%. So for many researchers the difficulty is to differentiate between real PCOS associated with hyperprolactinemia or hyperprolactinemia wit...
