Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is caused by mutations of genes involved with adrenal steroidogenesis. The mutations mostly occur in the 21-hydroxylase gene and rarely in the 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase gene or 11β-hydroxylase genes. Our aim is to present a series of 3 cases of patients with late onset CAH, probably due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, after 50 years of age.Case series...

Introduction: The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRT) allows the correlation between six individual diagnostic categories with the risk of malignancy, and offers a standardized management algorithm for each category. Atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) and follicular neoplasm categories are considered indeterminate categories, with varying malignancy rates and subtypes.Aim: To establish the malignancy rate and subtype of can...
