Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is a common medical condition, but in 5-10% of cases, it is part of Jaw Tumor syndrome, an autosomal dominant syndrome linked to a mutation in the HRPT2 gene. This syndrome is characterized by the presence of mandibular brown tumors and primary hyperparathyroidism.Case report: A 24-year-old patient with a history of severe chronic renal failure in the left single kidney, presenting ureterohydronephrosis, underwent mandib...

Introduction: The non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) involve extralymphatic sites more often than does Hodgkin lymphoma; consequently, tumor involvement of almost every abdominal organ has been recorded. Adrenal involvement in patients with NHL may be present at the time of initial assessment. however, adrenal insufficiency as a consequence of adrenal invasion is rare. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with NHL with breast and bilateral adrenal involvement.<p class="abstext...

Here, we report a case of adrenal-renal fusion making intraopera...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of rare inherited autosomal recessive disorders, CAH is caused by a mutation in the CYP21A2 gene that leads to a deficiency of 21-hydroxylase (CYP21), due to CYP21A2 gene mutations. Testicular adrenal rest tumors (T-ARTs) is a rare kind of benign tumor in the testis, which occurs mainly secondary to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). We report a rare case of bilateral TART in a patient with CAH whose diagnosis wa...

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is a pathological condition characterized by the excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting from the hyperactivity of one or more parathyroid glands. This condition can manifest as primary, secondary, or tertiary hyperparathyroidism. However, determining the primary or tertiary origin of hyperparathyroidism can pose challenges in certain complex situations. In this report, we present a clinical case where identifying the prima...
