Gilroy Michael , Redford Christopher , Dunn Julie , Patel Amita , Kyrodimou Efstathia , Baple Emma , Flanagan Daniel , Vaidya Bijay

We describe a 68 year lady who was found to have bilateral adrenal masses (7 cm on the right side and 1.3 cm on the left) during investigations for gastrointestinal symptoms, in early 2016. Biochemistry revealed high urinary normetanephrines of 41.7pmol/24h (ref 0–3) and metanephrines of 40pmol/24h (ref 0–1.8). A PET and MIBG scan revealed uptake in both adrenals and therefore a diagnosis of bilateral phaeochromocytoma was made. The patient had complained of occasion...

Advanced medullary thyroid cancer with metastatic disease at diagnostic in young patient negative for RET mutation- to treat or not to treat with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors

Outas Mariana Costache , Giulea Cosmin

We report a 21-year-old man who referred to endocrinologist following biopsy of a left-sided cervical mass. The pathological examination was diagnostic for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Physical examination was remarkable for a firm 3-cm nodule in right thyroid lobe and another 3 cm. firm nontender mass in left thyroid lobe. The calcitonin was 15,324 pg/ml, and carcinoembryonic antigen was 415 ng/ml. The calcium level was 10.3 mg/dl (<10 mg/dl) with unsuppressed parat...

Hussain Shazia , Brennan Carmel , Plowman Nick , Newbold Kate , Drake William

A 60 year old gentleman with a history of renal stones presented 5 years ago with left sided flank pain. A CT of his renal tract showed an unexpected metastatic deposit in the left iliac crest. Cross-sectional whole body imaging, performed to locate the primary, also identified an expansile soft tissue mass in the T8 vertebral body and a predominantly cystic looking left sided thyroid nodule. He proceeded to have an iliac crest biopsy which was consistent with metastatic folli...
