Lymphoma adrenal is a rare cause of adrenal tumor (0.5%). Bilateral primary lymphoma adrenal phenotype T is exceptional. We report two observations. MO 56 years old was hospitalized FOR exploration and therapeutic management of two large adrenal masses discovered on CT imaging after back pain, and weight loss. Physical examination revealed a patient asthenic, with no signs of hypersecretion. The rest of the examination was unremarkable and research call signs primary neoplasm ...

Introduction: The occurrence of primary pituitary tumour and cerebral schwannoma in the same person is very rare. Only few cases have been reported so far. The mechanism of this association is still unclear.Aim: Our aim is to report a man with two different brain tumours: a prolactinoma and a cerebellopontine schwannoma in order to discuss the possible mechanism of multiple neoplasms arising in the same person.Case report: A man ag...

Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a rare syndrome. It was first reported by Silver, Russel and al, who described children with low birth weight, postnatal statural delay, peculiar facies and asymmetry of the body. We report the case of two sibling children born to non-consanguineous parents, admitted to our level for the exploration of severe staturo-weight retardation in relation to marked intrauterine growth retardation. The first child is a 04-year-old girl, born at term. It...

Introduction: Nowadays, thyroid Ultrasound (US) is a reference exam and the best way for detection, diagnosis and monitoring of thyroid nodules suspect of malignancy. It allows selection of suspicious thyroid nodules for malignancy.Our aim was to assess contribution of this exam using the TI-RADS score in order to establish the correlation with cytological results.Materials and methods: A prospective study of 395 pati...

Introduction: Bilateral adrenal tumours are rare and account for 10–15% of adrenal lesions. They can be infectious, inflammatory, tumour, hémmoragiques, and genetic. The clinical and imaging used to guide diagnosis.Aim: Assess clinical, etiologic, and therapeutic characteristics of bilateral adrenal masses.Population and methodology: This is a retrospective study of the records of patients with bilateral adrenal masses co...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are genetic diseases with a deficit of one of the enzymes of steroidogenesis (21 hydroxylase OH, 90%). The consequences of the adrenal hyperandrogenism that results are observed when the treatment is not undertaken precociously.Aim: To study the impact of CAH and or treatment by glucocorticoids on the final size and gonadal function in girls.Materials and methods: 25 patients with ...

Introduction: Intra-testicular adrenal inclusions (ISIT) are benign tumors made of ectopic adrenal cortex tissue hyper stimulated by ACTH in excess. All pathologies causing a rise ACTH levels may be associated with adrenal inclusions. They are found mainly in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) of untreated or poorly treated.Objective: Search the frequency of ISIT in CAH and clarify clinical and progressive characteristics.<p class="ab...

Introduction: Malignant phaeochromocytomas are rare tumours, developed at the medulla and paraganglia. Their diagnosis is established by the presence of metastases of organs devoid of chromaffin tissue or by the appearance of neoplastic recurrence. They are characterized by a morbidity and mortality due to the effects of uncontrolled and important hypersecretion cathécolaminergique and resistance to conventional cancer treatments.Aim: Report the obs...

Introduction: Impact of suppressive therapy with LH RH analogues is more stop the premature pubertal development, reduce the acceleration of bone maturation that compromises the final size and avoid psychological disturbances caused by hormonal imbalance.Aim: To study the effects of treatment on pubertal development, bone maturation and evolution of the size during and at the end of treatment and final height in 20 patients with central precocious pubert...
