Objective: We aimed to compare the effectiveness of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose in positron emission computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) findings under elevated TSH levels (eTSH) and suppressed TSH levels (sTSH) in differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with TENIS syndrome (Thyroglobulin-elevated Negative Iodine Scintigraphy).Methods: A total of 23 patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) who undergone total thyroidectomy and 131I ablation therap...

Introduction: Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumour composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic tissue. Most lesions are small and asymptomatic, discovered incidentally during autopsy or on imaging studies performed for other reasons. Usually small and asymptomatic, but has been reported to present with symptoms such as abdominal pain resulting from tumour bulk, necrosis or spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage.Case 54-year old woman who ...

Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LHH) is an idiopathic, clonal, pleomorphic, neoplastic disorder characterized by the presence of atypical histiocytic cells which are locally or commonly seen in bone, lung, hypothalamus, liver, lymph nodes, mucocutaneous tissues with damaging them.Case: 58 year-old male patient applied to our clinic due to fatigue. On his physical examination, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly were absent. In his history...

Background: Postoperative severe polyuria is a rare condition after adrenal pheochromocytoma resection. We presented this case due to its rarity.Case: A 50-year-old women admitted to emergency service with malaise and fatigue complaint. The patient was using triple antihypertensive combination that started 10 years ago. Her medical history included cerebrovascular event due to hypertension 5 years ago. In physical examination her BMI was 20 kg/m2</s...

Introduction: Immunocytochemistry methods have demonstrated that most of the ‘clinically non functional’ adenomas are actually gonadotrophin secreting adenomas or gonadotroph adenomas. Gonadotroph adenomas are discovered in patients presenting with visual field disorder. Pituitary imaging almost always demonastrates macroadenoma. Anterior pituitary insufficiency is much more frequent than gonad hyperstimulation. Herein, we present six cases of FSH and/or LH positive ...

Introduction: Resecting a pheochromocytoma is a high-risk surgical procedure, life threatening complications may occur. In this presentation, we reported a case of resistance hypotension after pheochromocytoma resection.Case: A 70-year-old male with a history of prostate adenocarcinoma admitted to urology policlinic for cancer screening. Abdominal ultrasound revealed 6.5×5.5 cm mass in left adrenal gland and patient referred to endocrinology policli...
