It is most often manifested by an influenza-like syndrome with other symptoms that are more specific such as loss of smell and taste.Its severity is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic to severe or prolonged forms.We report the case of a 47-year-old female patient, who is being followed for hypoparathyroidism, who developed severe and persistent cram...

Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common form of thyroid cancer. It is differentiated, slow growing and usually has a good prognosis. Its risk factors are not all identified; we note exposure to radiation, particularly ionising radiation, and certain genetic mutations which are currently being explored. The aim of our work is to study the relationship between papillary thyroid carcinoma and cervical cancer.Observation: We report the c...

Introduction: Testicular regression syndrome is defined as partial or complete absence of testicular tissue in the presence of a normal 46,XY male karyotype. This syndrome is very rare with an estimated prevalence of 1 case/20.000 males. Here we decribe a case of a testicular regression syndrome in an 18 years old patient. Case Report : We report the case of an 18 years old male patient followed for testicular regression syndrome since the age of 2, whic...

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors producing catecholamines, they are usually unilateral. However, they can be located bilaterally. They still pose several problems in their diagnosis if they are associated with an adrenal cyst, which is the case in our patient.Case Report: A 34-years-old male patient, his medical and family histories were non specific, admitted to the emergency room for lumbar pain, with no other associated s...

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1) is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis that affect multiple organs. It represents one of the most frequent genetic diseases. The diagnosis is primarily clinical and is based on the NIH criteria (National Institutes of Health) established in 1988, and revised in 2021. We report a case of male patient with NF1 revealed by a pheochromocytoma.Case Report: A 26-years-old man patient with no previous medical history...

Introduction: Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor. It is usually diagnosed in subjects between 40 and 50 years of age. The occurrence of pheochromocytoma in the elderly is much rarer and has its own particularities. We report the case of a 70-year-old female patient with invasive pheochromocytoma.Case presentation: A 70-year-old female patient with a history type 2 diabetes for 18 years on oral antidiabetics and insulin. The history of his di...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism revealed by multiple brown tumors is rare. We report the case of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism on parathyroid adenoma discovered in front of multiple brown tumors.Case Presentation: A 72-year-old female patient, who presented for 6 months a functional impotence of both lower limbs with paraparesis, associated with bone pain from where the realization of a phospho-calcium assessment returning in favor...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent pathology, its association with papillary thyroid carcinoma is rare.Case Report: A 53 year old patient was admitted for management of primary hyperparathyroidism. The biological work-up showed a blood calcium level of 120 mg/l, parathyroid hormone (PTH) 4 times the normal range and hypophosphatemia. Cervical ultrasound showed a right parathyroid nodule with thyroid nodules classified Tirads 4, MIBI ...
