Background: Dopamine agonists (DAs) were associated with valvular dysfunction in patients with Parkinsons disease due to their fibrotic effect through the serotoninergic receptor. It is more difficult to prove the same effects in patients with prolactinoma due to the lower doses, variable doses and the longer follow-up period. Aim: To assess echocardiographic features in patients with prolactinoma under DA treatment.Methods: ...

Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for 3-9% of all thyroid cancers and only 0.7% develop paraneoplastic Cushing’s syndrome. However, incidence of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome is also low (1–3/million population/year), with a female preponderance, pituitary mediated ACTH production being responsible for up to 80% of these cases.Aim: To present the difficulties in the differential diagnosis of ACTH dependent hyperco...
