Clinical case reports - Thyroid / Others | 0032 | ECE2013 | 15th European Congress of Endocrinology

Introduction: Bone loss in thyroid dysfunction was first described by von Recklinghausen. Elevated bone turnover and decreased bone mass result when thyroid hormone levels are high and TSH levels suppressed. The changes in bone mass are impressive even in patients whit subclinical hypertiroidism, where thyroid hormones are within the normal range, but TSH is low or undetectable. Evidence show that endogenous and exogenous TSH suppression is associated with an increased fractur...

Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been widely accepted the most accurate, safe and cost-effective method for evaluation of the thyroid nodules. The most challenging category in the FNAC is atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) and follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS). Bethesda System (BS) recommends repeat FNAC in that category due to their low risk of malignancy. In our study, we aimed to investigate the malignancy rate of thyroid n...

Introduction: Graves disease is an autoimmune condition with an estimated prevalence of about 2%, 510 times more frequent in females. A multifactorial nature is assumed, with genetic contribution accounting for up to 80% of the variability. Relevant genes includegeneral autoimmune risk loci, such as the HLA region, CTLA-4, PTPN22 and CD40, as well as thyroid-specific loci (thyroglobulin and TSH receptor genes). We report a particular case of Graves d...
