BackgroundRapid induction of eu/hypothyroidism in patients with immune hyperthyroidism has been known to precipitate Thyroid eye disease (TED). Our aim was to investigate the incidence of TED in patients treated with radio-iodine therapy (RIT) at our hospital.MethodsWe examined case notes of 45 patients who underwent radio-iodine therapy for Graves’ disease with 544.7 (95% CI- 522.3 – 567.1) MBq bet...

A previously fit 36 year old lady presented with 3 days of pleuritic chest pain and SOB. A CxR showed consolidation at the left heart border. Following antibiotics she made a good recovery. On examination an incidental right thyroid nodule was identified. She was clinically euthyroid. FT4,FT3 were normal and TSH suppressed. The CxR a month later did not change.

Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) are rare including MEN1:association of pituitary, pancreatic and parathyroid tumors and MEN 2 regrouping NEM2a: medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), pheochromocytoma and parathyroid tumor and NEM2b with ganglioneuromas. They’re caused by autosomal dominant mutation: MEN1 gene (MEN 1) and RET protooncogen (MEN 2).Aim: Report the phenotypic and evolutionary characteristics of MEN.Popul...

The medullary carcinoma of thyroid is rare and represent 5–10% of the thyroid cancers. It appears under sporadic and family forms in more than a third of cases. It becomes integrated them into the multiple endocrine neoplasms type 2 of autosomique dominant transmission associate with germinal mutations of the gene RET. We bring report in this study, the observation of a new family shape. BL index case was diagnosed in the age of 42 years further to the appearance of a sev...
