Introduction: The diabetic patient is vulnerable to infection compared to the general population. This is due to the deleterious effect of hyperglycemia on the basis of chemotaxis, phagocytosis and bactericide neutrophils → What weakens the defenses of the diabetic person to infections. Infections of the upper limb in diabetics are not uncommon, and are often characterized by severity and often unfavorable developments. The objective of this work: determine the prevalenc...

Introduction: Hypothyroidism is a common disease in Morocco because of the iodine deficiency frequency. The metabolic and nutritional effects of hypothyroidism are known in the literature. The hypothyroidism is classically described among the causes of secondary obesity. The aim of the study is to evaluate the nutritional status and anthropometric parameters in patients having hypothyroidism.Patients and methods: Patients were recruited from the out-pati...

Introduction: Mixed thyroid carcinoma is an entity that corresponds to tumors with a double component: one of the vesicular type (Tg +) and the other of the medullary type (CT +). We report the occurrence of papillary and medullary thyroid carcinoma in a 44-year-old patient. This coexistence is considered rare.Case: A 44-year-old patient underwent a thyroidectomy due to a goiter, histopathological examination identified multifocal papillary carcinoma, mu...

Introduction: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare, Mosaic genetic (Lethal in the homozygous state) but non-hereditary disorder. The diagnosis is most often made in childhood, the management is multidisciplinary and includes several aspects. We report a case of Mc Cune Albright syndrome and the various difficulties encountered in its management.Case report: A, H 22 years old, at the age of 6 months presented skin macules. At the age of 3 years he dev...

In pregnancy, hypothyroidism is most often due to chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s disease) The consequences of hypothyroidism vary depending on the time of onset of hypothyroidism during pregnancy and the etiology retroplacental hematoma is a serious complication of hypothyroidism We report the case of a patient with in utero fetal death on retroplacental hematoma complicat...

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas are catecholamine producing tumors which arise from chromaffin cells within the adrenal medulla. Silent pheochromocytomas are rare entities that do not present with the classical symptoms commonly seen in catecholamine-secreting tumors. Case report: We report a case of 70-year-old-woman patient who presented with left sided abdominal pain and discomfort for 6 months. A preoperative Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a hu...

Background: A 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency (17OHD) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of disorders resulting from defect of one of enzymes necessary for biosynthesis of cortisol.Case Report: A 33-year-old female suffered from 17OHD. She presented with primary amenorrhea, lack of secondary sexual characteristics, and hypertension complicated by ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Laboratory t...

Introduction: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) are any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from mutations of genes for enzymes mediating the biochemical steps of production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis).Case Report: We describe a case report of a 20 year-old female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The 20-year-old female patient was born with geni...
