Here, we presented a rare case of ECD manifested in a young male subject with pituitary involvement.Clinical Case: A 19-year-old man was referred to our outpatient clinic wi...

Introduction: The etiology of gender dysphoria is still unclear. Although prior studies have shown trans men have higher androgen levels than cisgender women, they all concluded unselected populations. Our purpose to perform this study is to evaluate transmen’s hormone profile and metabolic status to compare cisgender women in a more selected population. This is the first case-controlled study to compare anthropometric, metabolic, and endocrinological parameters of drug-n...

Purpose: Thyroid autoimmune diseases occur more frequently in women than men. A previous study reveals that exogenous testosterone may have a protective effect on thyroid autoimmunity in men with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. But no study has determined whether sex hormones produce any effect on thyroid antibody titreş in women. The primary study aim was to assess whether exogenous testosterone affects thyroid autoimmunity in trans-men with increasing testosterone levels....

The frequency of adrenal masses is increasing in parallel with the progress of the technology. Most of these masses, which are detected by chance, are not functional, and only a part of them are exposed to an excess of hormone. The most common dysfunction in masses with hormonal activity is hypercortisolism. However, the diagnosis of Cushing’s disease is based on more than one test. In this study, we intended to compare the values of screening tests to determine whether t...
