Intracardiac paraganglioma in a patient with a paraganglioma syndrome type 4. Short, medium and long-term follow-up

Chicharro Pablo Lois , Wong Martín Jaime , Basagoiti Carreño Belén , Ferreira Ocampo Pablo José , Almdóvar Ruiz Francisca

Introduction: Paraganglioma type 4 is the second most common hereditary paraganglioma syndrome. It is due to a mutation in the succinate dehydrogenase B (SDHB) gene. Associated with high morbimortality for presenting high penetrance (77%) and debut at an early age with a high probability of malignancy (31–71%). In terms of follow-up, annual biochemical monitoring is recommended for mutation carriers. However, the affected gene should be taken into account, for example: t...

Introduction: One of the often-discussed topics in the management guidelines for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is the ideal time gap that should exist between patient check-ups. A period of three to six months is usually recommended, which sometimes is difficult to achieve due to the high number of patients. But to what extent does the time gap between appointments in the follow-up of T1DM patients affect their diabetes’ control?Objectives: To kn...

Penso Rona , Crespo Irene , José Dominguez Cañate Juan , Mola Laura , de Grado Teresa , Herraiz Lorea , Elena Mendoza Maria

Background: Branchial cleft cysts account for almost 20 percent of pediatric neck masses. They are usually present in late childhood or early adulthood, when a previously unrecognized cyst becomes infected. First branchial cleft cysts typically appear on the face near the auricle. Second branchial cleft cysts are the most common and they are usually located just inferior to the angle of the mandible and anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Third branchial cleft cysts ar...

Cephalometric analysis and dental maturation in patients with Turner’s syndrome (TS)

Gomes Rafaella Shimada , Oliveira Darwin Luiz Martins , Ramos-Dias João Carlos , Nigri Alcinda Aranha , Gianini Reinaldo José , Nonoyama Sérgio Yassuo , Senger Maria Helena

Craniofacial proportions of girls with TS, compared to normal children, show reduced size of the craniofacial complex, retrognathic profile and tendency towards advanced dental age. Growth hormone (GH) treatment in TS positively affects stature, but its effects on craniofacial growth and dental development are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze and to correlate the craniofacial morphology, chronological, dental and bone ages of TS patients receiving GH or no...

Craniofacial development and dental maturation in growth hormone(GH)-deficient patients

Oliveira Darwin Luiz Martins , Gomes Rafaella Shimada , Senger Maria Helena , Nigri Alcinda Aranha , Gianini Reinaldo José , Nonoyama Sérgio Yassuo , Ramos-Dias João Carlos

Growth is a complex process, influenced to a large extent by GH. Children with GH deficiency (GHD) have typical somatic features, including short stature and a reduction of the craniofacial structures. Dental age (DA) is normally delayed in relation to chronological age (CA). The effect of GH replacement on craniofacial growth is still poorly understood. We studied the craniofacial development and dental maturation in 17 patients (4F, 13M) with GHD of different etiologies. The...

Post-menopausal virilizing tumor of the ovary

Nádia Mourinho Bala , Raposo Nuno , José Maria Aragüés , Sílvia Guerra , Brito Delfina , Valadas Cristina

IntroductionLeydig cell tumors are rare entities, representing less 0.1% of all ovarian tumors. Generally these tumors are benign and unilateral. Most originate from the hilus cells and, less frequently, from the ovarian cortical stroma. Leydig cell tumors are functioning tumors, frequently associated with virilization symptoms in post-menopausal women.Case reportWe report the case of a 77 year-old female pat...

Factitious thyrotoxicosis, a diagnostic challenge

José Abuín Fernández , Viyey Kishore Doulatram Gamgaram , Pineda Cantero Araceli , Ignacio Ruíz García , Olveira Fuster Gabriel

IntroductionThe term factitious thyrotoxicosis is defined as an excess of thyroid hormone in the body caused by the ingestion of exogenous thyroid hormone. It can be intentional, usually in patients with psychiatric disorders, or accidentally. Another possible cause is the inappropriate use of thyroid hormone for the treatment of obesity, depression or infertility.Case reportWe present the case of a 32-year-o...

Warthin-like variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma

Nádia Mourinho Bala , Raposo Nuno , José Maria Aragüés , Sílvia Guerra , Brito Delfina , Valadas Cristina

IntroductionA rarely reported histologic subtype of the papillary thyroid cancer is the Warthin-like variant (WLPTC). This carcinoma resembles the Warthin tumour of the salivary gland by virtue of a papillary pattern of eosinophilic tumour cells associated with a rich lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate in the cores of the papillae. Due to the its rarity, the pathological characteristics and clinical behavior of WLPTC are not well doc...
