Introduction: Giant and cystic catecholamine-secreting tumors are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally during imaging. A simple mobilization of the tumor can cause the release of catecholamines into the blood and is therefore associated with high morbidity and mortality. Here, we aimed to present a patient with a 13 cm mass in the left adrenal gland and diagnosed as giant cystic pheochromocytoma.Case Report: A 62-year-old male patient presented...

Introduction: Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is most commonly seen in reticuloendothelial system tissues such as liver, spleen and lymph nodes. Rarely, it can be detected in non-hepatosplenic atypical localizations such as the adrenal glands. Although the underlying mechanism is not clearly elucidated, it is suggested that the adrenal glands have hematopoietic activity in the fetal period and EMH may develop from the remains here due to chronic anemia. We aimed to present ...

Introduction: Germinomas, which are the most common germ cell tumors of the central nervous system, may present with different symptoms depending on the location and are localized in the 20-30% suprasellar region. Here, we aimed to present a case of suprasellar germinoma with central diabetes insipidus, hypogonadism and secondary adrenal insufficiency.Case Report: A 27-year-old male patient presented with dry mouth, polydipsia, polyuria and nocturia for ...

Objectives: Primary thyroid lymphoma constitutes 0.5-5% of all thyroid malignancies. Its incidence is two per million persons. Patients usually present with rapidly growing masses in the thyroid their sixth-seventh decades. The disease is frequently accompanied by chronic Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Most tumors are B-cell derived non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.Case report: An 84-year-old male patient presented with a palpable swelling in the neck. Ultraso...
