Introduction: Thyroid TB is rare even in endemic countries, and diagnosis is often delayed by atypical presentation and clinical latency. Rarely, if ever, does a tumor and infection form in the same thyroid nodule We report the case of a subject who was followed for a hot nodule and who was found to be both thyroid tuberculosis and tumor damage.Observation: This is a 59 year old patient vaccinated against BCG, with no histrory of pulmonary or extrapulmon...

IntroductionThe coexistence of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is a rare event. The relationship between these two cancers is still unclear; Far from being a coincidence, it’s most often attributed to a genetic mutation (of which that of BRAF’s the most common). The management must focus on the most aggressive carcinoma. In this case, it’s pulmonary adenocarcinoma since the latter carcinoma is known for its ...

IntroductionEctopic thyroid tissue is a rare clinical entity, with a prevalence of 1: 300 000 in the general population. The ectopic tissue may be located anywhere from the base of the tongue to the diaphragm, the most frequent sites being lingual, thyroglossal, laryngotracheal, and lateral cervical regions. It may also occur in less frequent sites such as the esophagus, mediastinum, heart, adrenal glands, and pancreas. The mediastinum is the most freque...

IntroductionType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease in which pancreatic βcells are destroyed, generating an incapacity to maintain appropriate insulin and glucose concentration. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with varying degrees of insulin resistance (IR) and relative insulin deficiency. The association of T1DM and the clinical features of T2DM as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or metabolic s...

IntroductionCarney complex (CNC) is an extremely rare genetic syndrome of pigmented skin lesions, endocrine hyper-function and myxoma. Given its diverse clinical manifestations, CNC is often misdiagnosed. Recognition of some special clinical manifestations and imaging features may help with the diagnosis. We report the case of CNC with endocrine and cutaneous tumors.CaseA 50 years old female patient followed ...

<table Introduction: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a multi-organ genetic disease, commonly occurring with variable severity. Pheochromocytoma is a rare manifestation in NF1, affecting 1-15% of NF1 patients according to studies.Case Report: We present 2 cases: - Patient 1: 28 years old, with personal history of café au lait spots, cutaneous and subcutaneous neurofibromas, axillary lentigines. Referred for endocrinology consultation due to an adrenal m...

Introduction: Allgrove syndrome or triple A syndrome is a rare genetic disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance combining in its complete form: esophageal achalasia, alacrymia and adrenal insufficiency.Observation: Patient aged 16, 3rd of 4 siblings from a consanguineous marriage, followed for allograve Sd with megaesophagus operated on in 2016, alacrymia with artificial tears and neurological impairment. As part of the follow-up of his pathology, an ...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) represents a prevalent medical condition frequently characterized by asymptomatic manifestations. The etiology of PHPT is predominantly attributed to parathyroid adenomas, accounting for 85% of cases, with 10% demonstrating ectopic localization. The prevalence of asymptomatic presentation poses distinctive challenges in both diagnostic and therapeutic realms, necessitating a nuanced approach to effectively address the complexiti...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disease secondary to autonomous hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by one or more parathyroid glands. It is a predominantly female disease and most often asymptomatic. Its positive diagnosis is purely biological. Its curative treatment is surgical.Patients & methods: This retrospective descriptive study encompasses 83 patients who were hospitalized and longitudinally moni...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrinopathy caused by inappropriate PTH secretion by the parathyroid glands, which leads to alterations in phosphocalcic metabolism. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of complications of PHPT.Materials and Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of 83 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism collected over a period of 07 years (between 2015 and 2022) in the endocrinology ...
