Introduction: Hematologic abnormalities are frequently observed during hyperthyroidism and are related to complex multifactorial pathogenic mechanisms that are still poorly understood and may affect the three hematopoietic lineages in isolation or in combination. These abnormalities are exceptionally revealing and are usually subclinical. For the endocrinologist, they raise the problem of the risk of their aggravation under the hematotoxic effect of synthetic antithyroid drugs...

Introduction: Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects an estimated 1/2500 female live births. An estimated subset of 6-12% of all Turner Syndrome patients will be a mosaic with Y-chromosomal elements. It is recognized that a Turner female possessing Y chromosome material has an increased risk of developing gonadoblastoma, a precursor to dysgerminoma. Consequently guidelines recommend prophylactic gonadectomy in Turner females.Obsevation: W...

Introduction: Androgen insensitivities are rare genetic diseases, characterized by a more or less complete defect of tissue sensitivity to testosterone. It ranges from a more or less complete lack of masculinization to isolated infertility in a 46, XY individual. This partial or complete androgen insensitivity is linked to a defect in the function of the androgen receptor. We report the case of two patients with complete androgen resistance syndrome discovered during the explo...

Introduction: the coexistence of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare event. We report the case of a patient followed in consultation with thyroid carcinoma who was diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma.Observation: This is a 67-year-old patient, who had a total thyroidectomy for a multiheteronodular goitre with dissection of a pretracheal lymph node. Histopathological examination revealed a multifocal grade 1 thyroid papi...
