Non-secreting pheochromocytoma or adrenal metastasis of medullary thyroid cancer? When the differential diagnosis is difficult

Bouchenna Amira , Kablia Samia Ould

Introduction: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) accounts for 5-10% of thyroid cancers.25% of cases may be hereditary related to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 A (MEN2A) and associated with pheochromocytoma. Metastases from CMT are preferentially lymph node chains. However, other localizations are possible such as adrenal metastases which remain exceptional.Observation: We report the case of a 35-year-old patient with CMT for which he underwent thyroide...

The Etiology of Azoospermia

Kablia Samia Ould , Iabassen Malek

Introduction: Azoospermia is identified in approximately 1% of all men and in 10 to 15% of infertile males. A precise diagnosis of azoospermia and systematic evaluation of the patient to establish the disease etiology are needed to guide appropriate management options. The development of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) as an efficient therapy for severe male factor infertility has become an appropriate treatment for the majority of male reproductive tract deficiencies....

Kablia Samia Ould , Iabassen Malek , Cheikh Assya

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy affecting 6–10% of reproductive aged women. This syndrome is associated with obesity, menstrual irregularity, infertility, hirsutism and insulin resistance. It has been reported that PCOS is frequently associated with hyperprolactinemia with ranges from 17 to 50%. So for many researchers the difficulty is to differentiate between real PCOS associated with hyperprolactinemia or hyperprolactinemia wit...

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas, more recently referred to as pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNets) from other organs, are common neoplasms comprising 10 to 20% on intracranial tumors. Null cell adenoma is a diagnosis of exclusion that requires immunonegativity for all adenohypophyseal hormones and a lack of cell type-specific transcription factors. It represents 0,6% of all pituitary tumors. Case: A 55 years old women with a history of treated thyr...
