Hypercalcaemia secondary to hyperthyroidism coexist with decreased or normal parathyroid hormone level. We reported case of 30-year-old man who suffered from Graves’ disease and primary hyperparathyroidism.Case report: A 30-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital suffered from palpitati...

Introduction and aim: The metabolic changes of lipid profiles in prolactinoma treated with cabergoline are not completely clarified. The aim of this preliminary study is to evaluate changes of lipid profile in both of patients with functional hyperprolactinemia and prolactinoma before and after cabergoline treatment.Materials and methods: Twelve patients with prolactinoma who were treated with cabergoline (mean age 33.8±7.6 years and body mass index...

We discussed a case of scleredema in patient with history of diabetes mellitus.Case report: A 54-year-old woman with history of long-standing, poorly-controlled diabetes mellitus, hypertension,...

Aim: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is considered a new indicator of atherosclerosis. Activated platelets and subclinical inflammation predispose to create for atherosclerotic heart disease. Larger platelets are metabolically more active than smaller ones and have more protrombotic potential. We have recently demonstrated that MPV levels in Hashimoto’s patients tend to be higher than healthy controls even if in euthyroid state. In present study we aimed to investigate a relat...

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes (APS) are rare groups of diseases with autoimmune failure of at least two endocrine glands. In general, APS1 first occurs with candidiasis. Hypoparathyroidism generally presents until 10 years of age, and adrenal insufficiency around 20 years. We aim to this report a young girl is presented with early onset APS1 first presenting with adrenal insufficiency.Mucocutaneous candidiasis on the oral mucosa, and ectodermal dyst...
