Toxic thyroid adenoma and acromegaly: an unusual association.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hyperthyroidism is seen in 3.5-26% of acromegalic subjects, and can occur through TSH-dependent or independent mechanisms. Thyrotoxicosis as the first presenting illness in acromegaly is particularly uncommon, as described in this patient who had both acromegaly and a toxic thyroid adenoma.

Three endocrine neoplasms: an unusual combination of pheochromocytoma, pituitary adenoma, and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Three endocrine neoplasms-bilateral pheochromocytomas, somatotrophic pituitary adenoma inducing acromegaly, and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid-occurred concurrently in a patient. A genetic mutation was hypothesized. Possible previously described genetic mutations were explored. METHODS Clinical assessments, laboratory data, images of tumors, histopathology, and immunohistochemi...
متن کاملIncidental Growth Hormone Producing Pituitary Adenoma in a Case of Recurrent Nodular Goiter and Thyroid Carcinoma
Objective: Studies report an increased prevalence of thyroid tumors among patients with acromegaly. Acromegaly often has a subtle presentation and is likely underdiagnosed. This report highlights the development of recurrent thyroid neoplasia in a patient with undiagnosed acromegaly and raises awareness of thyroid malignancy in patients with acromegaly. Case report: Mrs. R is a 47-year-old woma...
متن کاملPitutaty insufficiency. Diagnosis masked by a toxic thyroid adenoma.
A patient with undiagnosed pituitary insufficiency who also had a toxic thyroid adenoma is presented. The T3 secreted by the adenoma apparently corrected the secondary thyroid failure, but also aggravated the secondary adrenal failure and almost precipitated adrenal crisis. The diagnostic work-up in such an unusual co-existence is discussed, in particular since the clinical diagnosis of pituita...
متن کاملAHR Over-Expression in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Clinical and Molecular Assessments in a Series of Italian Acromegalic Patients with a Long-Term Follow-Up
AIM Acromegaly reportedly carries an increased risk of malignant and benign thyroid tumors, with a prevalence of thyroid cancer of around 3-7%. Germline mutations in the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) interacting protein (AIP) have been identified in familial forms of acromegaly. The molecular and endocrine relationships between follicular thyroid growth and GH-secreting pituitary adenoma have...
متن کاملA case presentation of parathyroid adenoma and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid [Persian]
A 54 years old female with history of total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma, treated with lOOmCi of iodine-131 and negative whole body scans was referred for follow up study. Tl-201 scan revealed an area of radiotracer uptake in the neck region, suggestive of a parathyroid adenoma versus recurrence of thyroid carcinoma. The patient was operated, the parathyroid adenoma was removed. ...
