Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is a common medical condition, but in 5-10% of cases, it is part of Jaw Tumor syndrome, an autosomal dominant syndrome linked to a mutation in the HRPT2 gene. This syndrome is characterized by the presence of mandibular brown tumors and primary hyperparathyroidism.Case report: A 24-year-old patient with a history of severe chronic renal failure in the left single kidney, presenting ureterohydronephrosis, underwent mandib...

Introduction: The non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) involve extralymphatic sites more often than does Hodgkin lymphoma; consequently, tumor involvement of almost every abdominal organ has been recorded. Adrenal involvement in patients with NHL may be present at the time of initial assessment. however, adrenal insufficiency as a consequence of adrenal invasion is rare. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with NHL with breast and bilateral adrenal involvement.<p class="abstext...

Introduction: Gynecomastia, marked by mammary gland hypertrophy, arises from an imbalance between androgens and estrogens. Notable etiologies include hypogonadism, tumors, iatrogenic causes, and idiopathic factors.A case report: A patient aged 8 years and 10 months, with no pathological history, was admitted for further management of right unilateral gynecomastia. The functional signs included unilateral right hypertrophy in the retroareolar region. On p...

Background: Multifocal tuberculosis is defined as the involvement of at least two extra-pulmonary sites, with or without pulmonary involvement. The most commonly involved endocrine organ is the adrenal gland. We report a case of adrenal insufficiency revealing multifocal tuberculosis.Case report: A 65 year old female patient with no context of immunosuppression, presented to emergency department with Consciousness disturbance associated with severe hypon...

Introduction: Adrenal-renal fusion is a rare entity wherein the capsule of the adrenal gland is fused to the kidney. Generally asymptomatic, it is only in pathological situations or in cases of adrenal or renal resection that this situation can cause problems. Adrenal transplantation has long been studied in rats solely to treat adrenal insufficiency, but no cases of accidental transplantation have been reported. Here, we report a case of adrenal-renal fusion making intraopera...

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is a pathological condition characterized by the excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting from the hyperactivity of one or more parathyroid glands. This condition can manifest as primary, secondary, or tertiary hyperparathyroidism. However, determining the primary or tertiary origin of hyperparathyroidism can pose challenges in certain complex situations. In this report, we present a clinical case where identifying the prima...

Introduction: Obesity has become a major health problem and a global epidemic, with a worldwide prevalence that has doubled over the last three decades. According to the WHO, obesity is defined as a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or more The relationship between obesity and bone capital has been proven. A few years ago, it was thought that obesity had a protective effect on bone, a belief that influenced clinical practice. However, various pathogenic mechanisms, notably vitaminD ...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by hypercalcemia due to the overproduction of parathyroid hormone(PTH) from one or more parathyroid glands. While PHPT is typically diagnosed incidentally through routine laboratory testing due to asymptomatic hypercalcemia, acute pancreatitis as the initial symptom is a rare occurrence. This article presents three cases where acute pancreatitis served as the first manifestation ofP...

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is a condition marked by an overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) due to excessive activity in one or more parathyroid glands. It is a prevalent disorder that may manifest as primary, secondary, or tertiary. In this report, we present three clinical cases highlighting intricate scenarios where determining the primary or tertiary origin of hyperparathyroidism proves challenging.Case reports: A 33-year-old female wit...

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a systemic disease caused by lesions of the parathyroid gland, such as parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid hyperplasia, and parathyroid carcinoma. Bone disease is an important complication of hyperparathyroidism. We herein report a rare case of severe bone disease caused by primary hyperparathyroidism.Case report: A 33-year-old female patient presented with a history of right lower limb pathological fracture...
