Introduction: Brown tumors are osteolytic lesions rarely revealing hyperparathyroidism. They result from abnormalities of bone metabolism. They usually occur in the terminal stage of hyperparathyroidism. We report the case of a patient with hyperparathyroidism revealed by a brown tumor.Case: A 39-year-old female patient with no notable medical history who presented for 1 year a mandibular swelling progressively increasing in size after a dental extractio...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PPH) can be complicated by pancreatitis. The frequency of association of primary hyperparathyroidism with pancreatitis is rare, varying between 1.5% and 7%. We report the case of a patient with hyperparathyroidism revealed by acute pancreatitis.Case: A 78-year-old patient, without any particular history, who consulted the emergency room for an acute digestive picture with abdominal pain and bilious vomiting, an ...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common pathology. The association of papillary thyroid carcinoma and primary hyperparathyroidism has been reported in 2.3–4.3% of patients operated on for primary hyperparathyroidism.We report the case of a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma revealed by primary hyperparathyroidismObservation: 53-year-old patient admitted for management of primary hyperparathyroidism. A cervical ultrasound revealed...

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is considered the most common chronic neurodegenerative disease that often affects the elderly, rarely the young. Meanwhile, Diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic metabolic disease. Because of the increase in the prevalence of diabetes and neuro-vegetative diseases, we can wonder about the relationship between the two diseases. We report the case of a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with young onset Parkinson’...

Introduction: Fournier’s gangrene (FG) is a rare but life-threatening disease. Although originally thought to be an idiopathic process, FG has been shown to have a predilection for patients with diabetes, HIV, alcoholism and other immunocompromised states. We report the case of a patient who presented an inaugural diabetic ketoacidosis revealed by Fournier’s gangreneObservation: A 38-year-old male patient with a smoking history, presented to th...

Introduction: Trigger finger is a stenosing tenosynovitis in which constriction of the tendon sheath is associated with the presence of a nodule on the flexor tendon of the finger. This is an often unrecognised complication in the diabetic patient. We report the case of a diabetic patient with a complication of trigger finger.Observation: A 55 year old female patient, known to be diabetic for 10 years and treated with a basal-bolus insulin therapy regime...

Introduction: Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant genetic disease linked to a mutation in 3 genes involved in the catabolism of LDL particles. It is characterized by an exclusive increase in low-density lipoproteins (LDL). It is associated with a high risk of premature cardiovascular complications. We report the case of a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia.Case: 44-year-old patient, From a first-degree consanguineous marriage, ...

Introduction: The occurrence of thyroid cancer in Basedow disease is rare. We report a series of five cases of patients with Basedow disease who were operated on and whose pathological examination showed an association with differentiated thyroid cancer.Clinical cases: We report a series of five patients with a mean age of 39 years. The diagnosis of Basedow disease was made on the basis of clinical, biological and scintigraphic evidence. Cervical ultraso...

Introduction: Partial 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a genetic autosomal recessive disorder responsible for accumulation of the precursor upstream of the enzyme block, 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP), and excessive androgen production.Observation: A 29-year-old woman consulted for hirsutism with a Ferriman–Gallwey score of 25. There were no signs of Cushing syndrome and no abnormalities of sexual development. The Laboratory results revealed testosteron...

Introduction: Hypercalcemia is often observed in patients with cancer, secondary to the production s of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related peptides. However, the association of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and colon cancer is rarely reported.Case: We present the case of a 76 years old female patient, who was operated one year ago of for a low-grade colorectal adenocarcinoma. As part of her routine workup of her disease she underwent a phosphocalcic ...
