Introduction: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a well-known human tumor virus with a very high prevalence in the population, this virus is associated with epithelial and lymphoid malignancies, including lymphoepithelioma carcinoma of thyroid. This subtype of thyroid carcinoma is characterized by histologic features similar to those of undifferentiated carcinoma of the thyroid. Case Report: A 17-year-old male patient, his medical and family histories were non-...

Introduction: Thyroid TB is rare even in endemic countries, and diagnosis is often delayed by atypical presentation and clinical latency. Rarely, if ever, does a tumor and infection form in the same thyroid nodule We report the case of a subject who was followed for a hot nodule and who was found to be both thyroid tuberculosis and tumor damage.Observation: This is a 59 year old patient vaccinated against BCG, with no histrory of pulmonary or extrapulmon...

Introduction: COVID-19 is a pandemic related to SARS-COV-2 virus infection. It is most often manifested by an influenza-like syndrome with other symptoms that are more specific such as loss of smell and taste.Its severity is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic to severe or prolonged forms.We report the case of a 47-year-old female patient, who is being followed for hypoparathyroidism, who developed severe and persistent cram...

Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common form of thyroid cancer. It is differentiated, slow growing and usually has a good prognosis. Its risk factors are not all identified; we note exposure to radiation, particularly ionising radiation, and certain genetic mutations which are currently being explored. The aim of our work is to study the relationship between papillary thyroid carcinoma and cervical cancer.Observation: We report the c...

Introduction: Hashimoto’s encephalopathy or SREAT (steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with auto-immune thyroiditis) is a rare autoimmune disorder that is particularly corticosensitive and whose pathogenesis remains poorly understood. It is associated with high levels of antithyroid antibodies in plasma and/or CSF. Clinical manifestations are deceptive and may include cognitive and behavioral disturbances, seizures or abnormal movements.Cas...

Introduction: Thevenard’s disease is a sensory neuropathy with a type of ulcerative-mutilating acropathy of progressive course. It has a hereditary character with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is a scarce disease, which usually affects feet but can also affect hands. It causes disorders of thermoalgesic sensitivity, leading to painless ulcerations at the pressure points and then bone deformities with osteoarticular destruction and ‘cubic foot‘ appearance. R...

Introduction: Testicular regression syndrome is defined as partial or complete absence of testicular tissue in the presence of a normal 46,XY male karyotype. This syndrome is very rare with an estimated prevalence of 1 case/20.000 males. Here we decribe a case of a testicular regression syndrome in an 18 years old patient. Case Report : We report the case of an 18 years old male patient followed for testicular regression syndrome since the age of 2, whic...

Introduction: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder related to gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed individuals. Its clinical expression is polymorphic, rendering it a true systemic disease, and its management is based on a gluten-free diet (GFD). Autoimmune endocrinopathies are disorders affecting endocrine glands such as the thyroid or adrenal glands, also stemming from autoimmune reactions with complex pathophysiological mechanisms involving environmental, genetic...
