Craniopharyngioma accounts for 2~5% of all primary intracranial neoplasms. It may present with a variety of manifestations including neurological, visual, and/or hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction. Treatment options include radical surgery or radiotherapy, or a combination of these modalities. Craniopharyngioma ablation results in anterior and/or posterior pituitary hormone deficits. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), in which the femoral head slips downward and backward on the femoral neck at the epiphyseal plate, most commonly occurs during the rapid growth phase of puberty. Its actual cause is unknown, but the clinical association between SCFE and endocrine disorders is well known. We report a case of an adult male patient who developed SCFE in association with panhypopituitarism after treatment of a craniopharyngioma.

Abstract PDF

Most patients with hypercalcemia are asymptomatic or they have non-specific symptoms at diagnosis. Yet hypercalcemic crisis is a potentially fatal complication of hyperparathyroidism. Cystic parathyroid adenoma is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemic crisis. A 52-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital due to her relapsed drowsy mental state and renal insufficiency that occurred in course of her management for intracranial hemorrhage with manitol. The total serum calcium was 16.2 mg/dL and the intact parathyroid hormone was 546 pg/mL. Neck computed tomography showed a 3.1 x 1.8 cm sized cystic mass on the right thyroid lower pole. 99mTc-labelled sestamibi scintigraphy showed no significant uptake. In addition to prompt saline infusion and loop diuretics, the patient was given pamidronate to lower the serum calcium, and she was improved to an alert mental state with normal renal function. Surgical excision of the parathyroid cyst was performed. A histological examination confirmed a cystic parathyroid adenoma. The levels of plasma PTH and serum calcium were normalized after resection.

Abstract PDF: A goiter is among the most common presenting symptoms of patients with thyroid diseases and is usually caused by intrinsic thyroid problems. While direct invasion of the trachea by aggressive thyroid tumors is a well-known phenomenon, the reverse situation, that is, a primary tracheal neoplasm invading by direct extension into the thyroid gland, presenting with a goiter is very rare. Here, a case of a tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC), presenting with a diffuse goiter, is reported. A 47-year-old woman presented with slowly growing anterior neck swelling. A physical examination showed a diffuse firm goiter. The patient was euthyroiditic, and serum negative for thyroid autoantibodies. Thyroid ultrasonography and neck CT revealed a doughnut-shaped mass, encircling the trachea and displacing the thyroid anteriorly. Ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration(FNA) was compatible with an ACC, and a subsequent surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis. Although the occurrence of a tracheal ACC invading the thyroid is rare, this case highlights the need to be aware of unusual lesions arising in the region of the thyroid. This knowledge will help in making the correct cytological diagnosis when these lesions are sampled by FNA

Abstract PDF: Carcinoma of the thyroid usually presents as a palpable thyroid mass. However, in rare cases patients with thyroid cancer present with metastases of the cervical lymph node as the initial manifestation. The metastatic papillary tumor in cervical lymph nodes stained positive for thyroglobulin indicates the presence of a thyroid carcinoma, usually in the ipsilateral lobe. We herein report a case of multiple metastases in papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in the lateral aberrant thyroid with no evidence of thyroid carcinoma in the thyroid lobe.
