IntroductionThe coexistence of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is a rare event. The relationship between these two cancers is still unclear; Far from being a coincidence, it’s most often attributed to a genetic mutation (of which that of BRAF’s the most common). The management must focus on the most aggressive carcinoma. In this case, it’s pulmonary adenocarcinoma since the latter carcinoma is known for its ...

IntroductionEctopic thyroid tissue is a rare clinical entity, with a prevalence of 1: 300 000 in the general population. The ectopic tissue may be located anywhere from the base of the tongue to the diaphragm, the most frequent sites being lingual, thyroglossal, laryngotracheal, and lateral cervical regions. It may also occur in less frequent sites such as the esophagus, mediastinum, heart, adrenal glands, and pancreas. The mediastinum is the most freque...

IntroductionType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease in which pancreatic βcells are destroyed, generating an incapacity to maintain appropriate insulin and glucose concentration. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with varying degrees of insulin resistance (IR) and relative insulin deficiency. The association of T1DM and the clinical features of T2DM as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or metabolic s...

IntroductionCarney complex (CNC) is an extremely rare genetic syndrome of pigmented skin lesions, endocrine hyper-function and myxoma. Given its diverse clinical manifestations, CNC is often misdiagnosed. Recognition of some special clinical manifestations and imaging features may help with the diagnosis. We report the case of CNC with endocrine and cutaneous tumors.CaseA 50 years old female patient followed ...
