Pachydermoperiostitis associated with non secrettory pituitary macroadenoma in patient with toxic multinodular goitre

Gen Ramazan

Pseudoacromegaly is associated with acromegalic phenotype but normal insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels and suppressed growth hormone levels. The reasons of this condition may be pachydermoperiostitis insulin resistance, drug intake such as minoxidil and hypothyroidism (4). We describe pachydermoperiostitis in a patient with hyperthyroidism and non-secretory pituitary macroadenomas.Clinical case: A 62 year old man presented with palpitation, swe...
