Introduction: Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor. It is usually diagnosed in subjects between 40 and 50 years of age. The occurrence of pheochromocytoma in the elderly is much rarer and has its own particularities. We report the case of a 70-year-old female patient with invasive pheochromocytoma.Case presentation: A 70-year-old female patient with a history type 2 diabetes for 18 years on oral antidiabetics and insulin. The history of his di...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism revealed by multiple brown tumors is rare. We report the case of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism on parathyroid adenoma discovered in front of multiple brown tumors.Case Presentation: A 72-year-old female patient, who presented for 6 months a functional impotence of both lower limbs with paraparesis, associated with bone pain from where the realization of a phospho-calcium assessment returning in favor...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common endocrinopathy after diabetes and thyroid diseases. Most often, the diagnosis is made at the asymptomatic stage due to the frequent phosphocalcic assessment objectifying hypercalcemia. Much more rarely, primary hyperparathyroidism is diagnosed at the stage of digestive, renal or bone complications. We report the case of a young patient with a femoral fracture that revealed primary hyperparathyroidism.<p class="ab...

Introduction: Centropontic myelinolysis (CPM) is a neurological pathology related to axonal demyelination lesions, often localized at the pontine level. For a long time, this condition was attributed to rapid correction of hyponatremia. A few cases of PCM with normal natraemia have been described, in a context of undernutrition, chronic alcoholism, hypokalaemia or hyperglycaemia.Patient and observation: We report the case of an 18 years old patient, type...

Introduction: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a rare chronic cholestatic liver disease, which is most likely of autoimmune origin. It is often associated with other autoimmune diseases, although it is rarely seen with Basedow.Observation: We report the case of a 38 years old patient, chronic smoker, who presents clinical and biological hyperthyroidism related to Basedow, treated with synthetic antithyroid drugs for years with poor compliance and not...

Introduction: The occurrence of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypothyroidism induced systolic dysfunction is rare, especially when it presents as an initial manifestation of hypothyroidism Case We report the case of a 57-year-old patient, a known chronic smoker, who was admitted to the emergency department reporting asthenia, NYHA class III dyspnea, cardiac angina, and periorbital oedema. The ECG reveals a regular rhythm at 50 bpm and diffuse low voltage with firstdegree at...

Introduction: Diabetes stemming from pancreatic causes constitutes 0.5% of diabetes cases (1–2). It is defined as ’other specific types of diabetes resulting from exocrine pancreas impairment.’ Through this case report, we elucidate the distinctive clinical features of chronic calcifying pancreatitis-related diabetes. Case report: A 31-year-old male with a diabetic family history and a history of occasional alcohol consumption, is presenti...

Introduction: Developing in the adrenal medulla’s chromaffin cells, pheochromocytoma (PC) is an infrequent tumor Illustrating the instance of a patient diagnosed with malignant adrenal pheochromocytoma (PCM) following the onset of paralyzing sciatic painCase: A 60-year-old patient managing hypertension with triple therapy and type 2 diabetes using metformin and insulin glargine. The patient sought emergency care due to recurrent and disabling sciati...

Introduction: Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2 is a rare autosomal dominant life-threatening syndrome. It is defined by the presence of Addison’s disease in combination with at least one of the known autoimmune diseases: thyroid autoimmune disease, type 1 diabetes, and hypogonadism. The coexistence of Addison’s disease and autoimmune thyroid disease has been known as Schmidt’s syndrome. We are detailing the case of a patient who exhibited this syndrome a...

Introduction: A toxic thyroid nodule refers to a nodule that functions autonomously, causing an overabundance of thyroid hormones. It is generally considered non-malignant. Making a decision regarding surgery in hyperthyroid patients necessitates the accurate localization of the toxic region. Here we report a case of an intrathoracic toxic thyroid nodule causing hyperthyroidism with a normally functioning cervical thyroid nodule.Case: A 63 year-old femal...
