Aim: Although nonsecretory parathyroid carcinoma is relatively more frequent, nonsecretory parathyroid adenoma was also reported. It is thought to precede functioning parathyroid adenoma.Case report: An iso-hypoechoic 6.5×9.5×16.1 mm thyroid nodule with irregular borders in the superior-posterior part of right thyroid lobe was observed in ultrasonography in a 44-year-old female euthyroid patient. Fine-needle aspiration (FNAB) biopsy resulted wi...

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with insulin resistance, central obesity and dyslipidaemia. Furthermore, abnormal aminotransferase activity is common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The aim of this study is to assess the γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in women with PCOS in whom non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was excluded by history, serum testing and abdominal ultrasonography.<p class="abs...

AimIt is known that serum thyroglobulin (TG) can increase after fine-needle biopsy of thyroid nodules. We aimed to determine whether TG is increased after ultrasonography guided fine needle capillary biopsy (FNC) of suspicious cervical LNs in thyroidectomized patients and investigate the possible association between change in TG and cytology results.Material and methodsData of 188 patients who underwent FNC o...
