 Abstract
 PDF
- A pheochromocytoma is a neuroectodermal tumor that originates from the chromaffin cells of the sympathetic system. It has typical symptoms or signs, such as periodic attacks of paroxysmal hypertension, palpitation, headache, and sweating, related to an increased catecholamine secretion. Types of catecholamine secreted from tumors are usually norepinephrine and epinerphrine. There are a few reports of dopamine-secreting pheochromocytoma with absence of other catecholamines secretion. Here, we report the case of a 59-year-old man with dopamine-secreting pheochromocytoma, with no typical symptoms or signs.

Abstract
PDF
- Methimazole has remained the cornerstone for the treatment of hyperthyroidism since 1940's and it is a well-tolerated antithyroid drug. Pancytopenia is one of the major side effects of methimazole, but its occurrence is very rare. There have been some case reports about methimazole-induced pancytopenia that was treated with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), but its usefulness is still controversial. We present here a case of a 50-year-old female who had been treated with methimazole for hyperthyroidism and she subsequently presented pancytopenia. G-CSF was given for 10 days and she successfully recovered from the pancytopenia.

Abstract
PDF
- Nesidioblastosis, the process of differentiation of pancreatic islets from ductular epithelium, is a frequent cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in neonates and infants, but rare in adults. A 38-year-old man had suffered from intermittent hypoglycemic symtoms for 10 years. He had inappropriately elevated plasma immunoreactive insulin level and I/G ratio during a prolonged fast. There was no evidence of tumor on the abdominal CT scan and operation although celiac angiography showed a round mass like lesion in the distal pancreatic area.His hypoglycemic symptoms were improved by distal pancreatectomy.Pathologic finding in the resected pancreas was that of focal type nesidioblastosis I.e, increased size and number of islets with scattered numerous small islets around ductules in focal lesion. Distal pancreatectomy as an initial operation may be effective in the treatment of focal type nesidioblastosis.
