Introduction: Cushing’s disease (CD) frequently leads to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism by hypercortisolism and hyperandrogenemia. In the literature, there are totally 96 cases of CD and pregnancy. Only four of 11 cases, operated transsphenoidally, were cured. We aimed to present a case of CD developing pregnancy in which hypercortisolism was successfully controlled by transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) in 2nd trimester.Case report: 28 years old female wa...

Introduction: Maturity-onset diabetes of young (MODY) type 2 is caused by mutation of the glucokinase gene. It is characterized by mild fasting hyperglicemia and absence of vascular complications. It is estimated that the incidence of gestational diabetes is 3%. We aimed to present a pregestational diabetic case with MODY-type 2 in pregnancy.Case report: A 38-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our clinic for glycemic regulation at 22th week of gesta...

Introduction: Autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes (APS) are rare endocrinopathies characterized by the coexistence of at least two glandular autoimmune diseases. APS comprise a wide spectrum of autoimmune disorders and are divided into a very rare juvenile (APS type 1) and a more common adult type with (APS 2) or without adrenal failure (APS 3). We present a patient with polyglanduler syndrome type 3a.Case report: A 39-years-old female patient was present...

Introduction: Parathyroid adenoma is the most common cause of primer hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas constitute about 1–3% of the cases. Brown tumors ocur in less than 2% of the patients with PHPT. Moreover, those skeletal manifestations are even rarely demonstrated with maxillofacial bones involvement.Case presentaton: Here we report a 36-years-old woman presented with approximately 30×26 mm mass growth in ...
