Developments of the cancer immunology have increased the frequency of use of targeted therapies and immunomodulatory therapies. Although these treatments are effective on cancer cells, they also have toxicity on the thyroid gland. We aimed to evaluate the tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKI) and immunotherapies-induced thyroid disorders, their relationship on disease prognosis and baseline serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels effect on the development of thyroid dysfuncti...

Introduction: Ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) is a rare cause of Cushing’s syndrome. EAS is most frequently caused by bronchial carcinoid tumor or small cell lung cancer. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare source of EAS, as reported in this case.Case report: A 65-years-old-female with back pain and weight gain referred to our outpatient clinic with determined signs and symptoms of hypercortisolism. She had arterial hypertension, her sister had ...

Introduction: Cushing’s disease (CD) frequently leads to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism by hypercortisolism and hyperandrogenemia. In the literature, there are totally 96 cases of CD and pregnancy. Only four of 11 cases, operated transsphenoidally, were cured. We aimed to present a case of CD developing pregnancy in which hypercortisolism was successfully controlled by transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) in 2nd trimester.Case report: 28 years old female wa...

Introduction: Maturity-onset diabetes of young (MODY) type 2 is caused by mutation of the glucokinase gene. It is characterized by mild fasting hyperglicemia and absence of vascular complications. It is estimated that the incidence of gestational diabetes is 3%. We aimed to present a pregestational diabetic case with MODY-type 2 in pregnancy.Case report: A 38-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our clinic for glycemic regulation at 22th week of gesta...

Introduction: Autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes (APS) are rare endocrinopathies characterized by the coexistence of at least two glandular autoimmune diseases. APS comprise a wide spectrum of autoimmune disorders and are divided into a very rare juvenile (APS type 1) and a more common adult type with (APS 2) or without adrenal failure (APS 3). We present a patient with polyglanduler syndrome type 3a.Case report: A 39-years-old female patient was present...

PurposeWe aimed to determine the effectiveness of bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) in the differential diagnosis of adrenocorticotropic hormone-dependent Cushing Syndrome (ACTH-dependent CS).Method51 patients diagnosed with ACTH-dependent CS between 2010-2019 in the Endocrinology Clinic in Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Health Training and Research Hospital were included in the study. The dia...

Introduction: Parathyroid adenoma is the most common cause of primer hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenomas constitute about 1–3% of the cases. Brown tumors ocur in less than 2% of the patients with PHPT. Moreover, those skeletal manifestations are even rarely demonstrated with maxillofacial bones involvement.Case presentaton: Here we report a 36-years-old woman presented with approximately 30×26 mm mass growth in ...
