Introduction: Feochromositoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor derived from chrommaffin cells of adrenal medulla. The most characteristic clinical symptoms are headache, perspiration, palpitation, and paroxysismal hypertension. Childhood feochromositoma is generally genetic while it is mostly sporadic in adults. Here we report three feochromositoma cases in whom two had von Hippel Lindau syndrome (VHLs).Case 1: 10 years old girl with admitted with fever. H...

Introduction: Tolosa Hunt syndrome (THS) is described as unilateral orbital pain associated with paresis of one or more of the third, fourth and/or sixth cranial nerves caused by a granulomatous inflammation in the cavernous sinus, superior orbital fissure or orbit. Pituitary gland is rarely involved in this syndrome. Herein we represented a case with hypophysitis with Tolosa Hunt who was operated with the suspicion of pituitary adenoma.Case: A 63-year-o...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11βOHD) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. It results defects in adrenal cortisol and aldosterone synthesis. Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment in male patients are essential in order to prevent serious complications. We report a male patient with CAH who developed complications because of late diagnosisCase Report: 44-year-old male patien...

IntroductionLung transplantation was associated with a 32% prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and a 41% prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in liver transplant recipients is 43% and 31% –51%. In this report, we present 2 cases who developed dyslipidemia after transplantation.Case 1The blood test of a 73-year-old male patient who had lung transplantation about 3 years ago re...

IntroductionPituitary adenomas secreting TSH (TSHoma) are a rare cause of hyperthyroidism. They account for approximately 0.5–3 % of functioning pituitary tumours and much less than 1% of all cases of hyperthyroidism. TSHoma should be considered in all hyperthyroid patients, especially those with diffuse goitre and no extrathyroidal signs of Graves’ disease.Case 1A 30-year-old female applied to the ...

Aim: To compare the IGF-1, metabolic and clinical parameters among the ultrasonographically classified NAFLD groups, to examine the effect of weight loss on metabolic parameters and determine the factors that may predict the NAFLD severity in morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery.Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 316 morbidly obese patients (250 females, 66 males). The data of patients before and 1st year a...

Background: Obesity is a widespread disease that causes chronic low-grade inflammation and related chronic diseases such as steatohepatitis, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus (DM), and cancer. It is known that weight loss positively affects life expectancy by reducing obesity-related complications. Therefore, effective management of particularly morbidly obese patients is getting prominent in clinical practice. Bariatric surgery (BS) is the main effective treatment option ...

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to increase worldwide. Diabetic retinopathy (DRP) is one of the most common complications of Type 2 DM. Recently, the effect of thyroid hormones on diabetic microvascular complications has gained much attention. This relationship is explained by the important effects of thyroid hormones on endothelial function. There are studies investigating the relationship between TSH and diabetic nephropathy and DRP. There ar...

Background We aimed to determine clinicopathological features that can predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMC).MethodsMedical records of 872 patients with papillary thyroid cancer >1 cm (PTC >1 cm) and 1184 patients with papillary thyroid microcancer (PTMC) (£1 cm) were reviewed retrospectively. Demographical, clinical and histopathological features of (PTC >1 cm) ...

IntroductionWhile cervical lymph nodes are the region where head and neck malignancies frequently metastasize, prostate carcinoma rarely metastasizes to this area. Here, we will present a case with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma whose pathological lymph node cytology in the cervical region was found to be prostate carcinoma metastasis.Case <capti...
