Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism-Jaw Tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder bearing a germline and a somatic CDC73 mutation. The features of HPT-JT are clinically difficult to ascertain because the parathyroid disease, ossifying fibroma in the jaw and other abnormalities, often occurs asynchronously and may be diagnosed and treated separately. The association of jaw ossifying fibroma with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is typical of HPT-JT.<p class="abstex...

Introduction: Diagnosis of NETs (neuroendocrine tumors) is based on clinical manifestations, peptide and amine secretion, specialized radiological and nuclear imaging, secured by detailed histology and immunohistochemistry, which should be obtained whenever possible. Biomarkers are still the mainstay in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with NETs.Case report: We present the case of a 36-year-old patient with no significant pathological personal his...

Introduction: Central hyperthermia is frequent in patients with brain injury and is characterized by a rapid onset with high temperatures, marked temperature fluctuations and poor response to antipyretics. It is associated with worse outcomes in the injured brain, thus it is important to aggressively manage it.Case-report: We report a case of a 9-year-old boy diagnosed with sellar and suprasellar adamantimomatous craniopharyngioma at the age of 5 when he...
