Introduction: Bilateral adrenal tumours are rare and account for 10–15% of adrenal lesions. They can be infectious, inflammatory, tumour, hémmoragiques, and genetic. The clinical and imaging used to guide diagnosis.Aim: Assess clinical, etiologic, and therapeutic characteristics of bilateral adrenal masses.Population and methodology: This is a retrospective study of the records of patients with bilateral adrenal masses co...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are genetic diseases with a deficit of one of the enzymes of steroidogenesis (21 hydroxylase OH, 90%). The consequences of the adrenal hyperandrogenism that results are observed when the treatment is not undertaken precociously.Aim: To study the impact of CAH and or treatment by glucocorticoids on the final size and gonadal function in girls.Materials and methods: 25 patients with ...

Introduction: Intra-testicular adrenal inclusions (ISIT) are benign tumors made of ectopic adrenal cortex tissue hyper stimulated by ACTH in excess. All pathologies causing a rise ACTH levels may be associated with adrenal inclusions. They are found mainly in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) of untreated or poorly treated.Objective: Search the frequency of ISIT in CAH and clarify clinical and progressive characteristics.<p class="ab...

Introduction: Malignant phaeochromocytomas are rare tumours, developed at the medulla and paraganglia. Their diagnosis is established by the presence of metastases of organs devoid of chromaffin tissue or by the appearance of neoplastic recurrence. They are characterized by a morbidity and mortality due to the effects of uncontrolled and important hypersecretion cathécolaminergique and resistance to conventional cancer treatments.Aim: Report the obs...

Introduction: Impact of suppressive therapy with LH RH analogues is more stop the premature pubertal development, reduce the acceleration of bone maturation that compromises the final size and avoid psychological disturbances caused by hormonal imbalance.Aim: To study the effects of treatment on pubertal development, bone maturation and evolution of the size during and at the end of treatment and final height in 20 patients with central precocious pubert...

Introduction: The inflammatoirs background processes, and infiltrating tumour of the pituitary stalk are rare. They are a heterogeneous group of lesions responsible of partial or global hypopituitarism.Aim: Search for thickening of the pituitary stalk aetiologies and specify the clinical aspects.Population methodology: This is a retrospective study of 24 patients with thickening of the pituitary stalk. All patients benefited from a...

Introduction: Micropenis is defined as a stretched penile length of <2.5 S.D., which can be diagnosed from birth to adolescence. It is idiopathic or associated with a chromosomal abnormality, hypogonadism, pituitary abnormality or a complex malformation syndrome. The therapeutic management of this disease should be early to get a favorable response and absence of impact objective. Clarify the clinical and etiological aspects of micropenis of patients followe...

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours or TNE form from cells of the endocrine and neurological system at any point in the body and are characterised by their ability to secrete hormones and express protein markers. They are often benign, but some are malignant and can easily metastasise.Objective: To describe the clinical, paraclinical and scalable of TNE endocrinology observed outside medullary carcinoma and phaeochromocytoma.Popul...
