Bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia versus bilateral micronodular adrenal hyperplasia

Kebapci Nur , Efe Belgin , Kebapci Mahmut

Bilateral macronodular or micronodular adrenal hyperplasias are related to ACTH-independent or ACTH-dependant pathologies. ACTH-independent bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH) and primary pigmented adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) are classical but rare examples of ACTH-independent pathologies, causing Cushing Syndrome. PPNAD is presented as bilateral micronodular adrenal hyperplasia.On the other hand, inherited defects in the enzymatic step...

Testicular adrenal rest tumors – a case report

Kebapci Nur , Can Cavit , Acikalin Mustafa , Kebapci Mahmut

The patient had been diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) at age 5 because of precocious of puberty. He had been receiving dexamethazone and fludrocortisone therapy over the course of his life. When he was 16 years old, a scrotal ultrasound had been performed for the evaluation of bilateral testicular pain which revealed multiple sharply marginated, hypoechoic masses throughout both testes. A biopsy of left testis had been reported as ‘Leidig cell tumour&#1...

The value of ankle–brachial index in patients above 40 years old with type 2 diabetes mellitus on the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease and the association between peripheral artery disease and chronic diabetes complications

Kebapci Nur , Turkozu Tugce Nur

Peripheral artery disease (PAD); is a chronic occlusive disease in lower extremities. PAD is an important sign of atherosclerosis, and an important predictor of mortality and morbidity during the cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. Since the cardiovascular diseases are the most important cause of death in type 2 DM patients, diagnosing the mortality and morbidity predictor PAD in the early period is very important. The ankle–brachial index is an easy and cheap me...

Postpartum osteoporosis associated with hypercalcemia and hypoparathyroidism

Kebapci Nur , Yorulmaz Goknur , Akalin Aysen

A lactating 31-year-old woman who developed L5 vertebral compression fracture 2 months after the delivery of her first child is presented. Serum concentrations of Ca was 10.24 mg/dl (8.6–10.2 mg/dl), phosphorus was 4.1 mg/dl (2.7–4.5 mg/dl), albumin was 4.6 mg/dl, ALP was 210 U/l (35–105 U/l), PTH was 13.8 pg/ml (15–65). There was axial osteoporosis, as assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Z score; L1 (−3), L2 (−3.8), L3 (&#872...

Common variable immune deficiency as a rare cause of osteoporosis

Onbasi Kevser , Kebapci Nur , Efe Belgin

A 27 year-old-man was admitted to our hospital with pain in the back. Bone mineral density evaluation revealed severe osteoporosis at L1–L4 vertebrae, as well as on femur, too. Secondary osteoporosis reasons like thyrotoxicosis, glucocorticoid therapy, hypercortisolemia, hypercalciuria, hyperparathyroidism were excluded. Laboratory examination of the patient revealed to a hypoglobulinemia. Further evaluation of the immunoglobulin levels were in concordance with panhypoglo...

Ectopic localization of the pituitary bright spot in a patient with idiopathic central diabetes inspidus

Kebapci Nur , Erdogan Erhan , Adapinar Baki

We report the MRI findings of an unusual case of posterior pituitary ectopia (PPE) in a young female patient with idiopathic diabetes inspidus (DI). She was 29 years- old and presented with polydipsia (7–8 lt/day), and polyuria (7–8 lt/day) that had been present for about 5 months. She had regular menstrual cycles. She didn’t have any history of significant medical illness or any history of head trauma. An 8-hour fluid deprivation test followed by desmopressin (...

A rare case of bilateral micronodular adrenal cortical disease

Ozer Ozge , Yorulmaz Goknur , Kebapci Medine Nur

Background: Bilateral micronodular adrenal cortical disease (miBACD) is a rare and difficult-to-manage disease. miBACD is one of the causes of Cushing’s syndrome. miBACD is divided into primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) and isolated micronodular adrenocortical disease. Its more common presentation is familial PPNAD, as part of Carney syndrome. We also presented a rare case of miBACD.Case presentation: A 20-year-old female pati...

Bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma

Kebapci Medine Nur , Dağdemir Arzu , Akalın Aysen , Kebapci Mahmut , Canaz Funda

Introduction: Adrenal gland involvement can be seen in about 25% of lymphomas. However, primary adrenal lymphomas (PAL) are rare. The most common is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It is seen usually after the age of 60 years as bilateral, large masses.Case report: A 64-year-old woman with a complaint of abdominal pain was referred to our clinic after bilateral surrenal masses were detected upon abdominal ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomogra...

Adrenocortical carcinoma in pregnancy

Yorulmaz Goknur , Kebapci Nur , Canaz Funda , Buyruk Betul Aydin , Alaguney Sevil , Badak Bartu , Kebapci Mahmut

Introduction: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a very rare tumor. The mean age at onset is between 40 and 50 years. Patients with nonfunctioning ACC report symptoms of abdominal discomfort or back pain due to the large tumor size. Surgery for ACC should be performed by an expert surgeon.Case: A 29-year-old patient with 25 weeks of pregnancy admitted at our clinic with right side pain. 10×11 cm solid mass on right adrenal gland was detected by ultra...

Evaluation of clinicopathological factors in papillary thyroid cancer with cervical lymph node metastasis

Buyruk Betul Aydin , Kebapci Medine Nur , Yorulmaz Goknur , Buyruk Aytug , Kebapci Mahmut

Introduction and purpose: More than 90% of differentiated thyroid cancers are papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Lymph node metastasis is common in PTC and has been reported to have no effect on prognosis. The risk of cervical metastasis is high in the presence of clinicopathologic factors including extrathyroidal extension, multifocality and lymphovascular invasion. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of lymph node metastasis development....
