OBJECTIVE: To report a case of pleomorphic adenoma that was surgically removed and to describe the surgical technique available remove this lesion. CASE REPORT: A male patient, caucasian, 46 years old, with 4-year history adenoma. He mentioned he went other services for treatment, but without success. came at our service treatment tumoral excision. Local anesthesia performed mepivacaine vasocon...

Isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is characterized by impaired gonadotropin release in the context of normal anatomical and functional anterior pituitary function. The conditions usually responsible for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism are: pituitary adenoma, neoplastic metastasis, granulomatous processes, lymphocitary hypophysitis, histiocytosis X, hemochromatosis, vascular pathologies. We p...

A 61-year-old patient with treated Conn's syndrome due to multiple bilateral adrenocortical adenomata developed primary hyperparathyroidism. At operation, a parathyroid adenoma and a thyroid colloid nodule were found. Although adrenocortical adenomata and hyperplasia are common findings in multiple endocrine adenopathy type I, they are only rarely functional. Hypertension is often associated wi...

Intra-cranial aneurysm can be incidental findings in patients with pituitary adenomas, and are usually located outside the pituitary region. However, the coexistence of intrasellar (not intracranial) aneurysms with pituitary adenomas is extremely rare. We report a patient with an incidental superior hypophygeal aneurysm embedded within a non-functional pituitary adenoma which was treated by tra...

the coexistence of medullary thyroid carcinoma (mtc), papillary thyroid carcinoma (ptc) and parathyroid adenoma is an uncommon clinical entity. here, we report a case of mtc, ptc, and parathyroid adenoma diagnosed incidentally on a routine physical examination of the neck for the work-up of diabetes. the patient had neither symptoms of hypercalcemia nor those related to mtc and ptc.

Hannah-Shmouni F, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-220820 Description A 70-year-old woman with controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension presented for evaluation of chronic abdominal discomfort. An incidental 3.2×3.5×3 cm left adrenal mass was identified on CT. Physical examination revealed obesity stage 2 without a Cushingoid appearance and controlled hypertension with...

It is very difficult to differentiate follicular adenoma from follicular carcinoma in thyroid follicular lesions. The authors investigated the biological behavior of these thyroid follicular lesions using immunohistochemical techniques. Specimens taken from normal thyroid, 2 cases; follicular adenoma, 9; atypical adenoma, 7; and follicular carcinoma, 8; were observed. Proliferating cell nuclear...

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenomas are benign neoplasms of salivary glands. The simultaneous homolateral occurrence of these tumors in salivary glands is exceedingly rare.   Case Report: An adult female presenting to our OPD with the swelling of right-sided preauricular and submandibular regions was diagnosed with the pleomorphic adenoma based on fine needle aspiration c...

Background and Importance: The coexistence of pituitary adenoma and another type of brain tumor is a very rare clinical scenario. Even though such a presentation can be an incidental event but the possible pathogenesis of coexistence of different lesions in the sella and suprasellar region has not yet been elucidated. Case Presentation: Two cases of concomitant sellar and suprasellar region ...

Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is defined by the excess level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid adenoma is responsible for about 80% of all pHPT. Parathyroid adenoma with cystic feature and atypical pathology is recognized as a rare entity. Technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile ([99mTc]Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy has favorable detection rate for ectopic gland as well as th...
