Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) occurs in a setting of excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion with an autonomous parathyroid gland which resulting in hypercalcemia. Cases of parathyroid adenoma are rare, PTH is a chief regulator of calcium homeostasis in the human body. PHPT could be caused by solitary adenomas, hyperplasia, multiple adenomas and carcinomas. A 35-year-old female who came in with complaints of left hip pain past 1 month which aggravated since 1 week, with previous medical history of hyperthyroidism. Laboratory and biochemical findings suggested features of PHPT. She underwent left parathyroid excision with subtotal thyroidectomy. Histopathology analysis revealed features of parathyroid adenoma with eosinophilic to clear cytoplasm, few foci with oxyphilic nodules. Patient showed significant fall in PTH levels after tumor excision and is being discharged 5th day after surgery. PHPT occurs at any age, but it is most commonly seen in people over the age of 50 years and postmenopausal women. The current presentation of PHPT shifts from the classical symptomatic form to the asymptomatic form. parathyroidectomy is still the treatment of choice for both symptomatic and asymptomatic forms. Parathyroid adenoma has an excellent prognosis with surgical treatment.

Abstract Brown tumor (BT) is the pathological expression of osteitis fibrosa cystica owing to primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). It is a rare benign lesion of skeletal system that usually affects the facial bones, clavicles, ribs, pelvis and extremities. The purpose of this case report is to present the clinical, pathological and radiological findings of BT, rarely seen in adults, originating from the giant parathyroid adenoma and emerging as the first clinical sign of HPT. The patient underwent a successful parathyroidectomy operation and on the first postoperative day, the patient was discharged without any complications. Continuous...

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: This is the first reported case of histologically proven multiple spinal cavernous malformations (CMs) associated with previous irradiation. There are only two cases reported in the literature of solitary spinal CM after irradiation. In addition, the lesions in our patient had an atypical magnetic resonance imaging appearance mimicking intraspinal drop metastasis. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old man had an incidental finding of multiple enhancing intraspinal lesions as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging during staging tests for hepatocellular carcinoma. He had a history of Wilms' tumor at a young age with irradiation to the abdomen and pelvis. His family history included a paternal cousin with multiple cerebral CMs. The diagnosis of spinal drop metastasis was made, and further intervention was undertaken for confirmation. INTERVENTION: The patient underwent a lumbar laminectomy with durotomy and excision of two of the lesions. Macroscopic analysis revealed mulberry-like appearance with nerve root involvement, and pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CM. Genetic testing of the patient and his affected cousin was negative for the CCM1 gene. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of multiple spinal lesions in the context of known neoplasia indicates a diagnosis of metastasis. Spinal CMs were not suspected preoperatively because of the atypical appearance revealed by magnetic resonance imaging scans, with uniform contrast enhancement and absence of hemosiderin rim. This case report is discussed relative to previous literature regarding radiation-induced CMs and other known causes of the disease.

Background. The Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital, cerebral, arteriovenous deformity. Good cross-discipline cooperation is in demand because of associated complications and high mortality. The recognition of the optimal therapeutic window is useful to allow proper management.Case Report. We report on the successful treatment of a 2-week-old, healthy girl with a VGAM, which came across in the context of the newborn ultrasonographic screening. After interdisciplinary discussion, 2 embolizations of the VGAM followed without complications—the first in the age of 6 months and the second at 12 months of life. Before and after the intervention, the patient had an age-appropriate development without neurological deficits.Conclusion. The endovascular transarterial embolization is described as the treatment of choice. Time and method of intervention depend on clinical signs of the patient. In our case the patient was asymptomatic. So the arteriovenous abnormality was an incidental finding by ultrasound. Because of the natural history of the disease, and the potential severe neurocognitive consequences at long-term followup if left untreated, it was decided to embolize the lesion. Thanks to embolization with glue, good therapeutical and clinical results could be obtained with normal neurological development.

In this case report the authors inform about late diagnosis of giant adenoma of the parathyroid gland with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and the development of fibrocystic osteitis with a «brown» tumor of the upper jaw. The patient has been under the care endocrinologist with type 2 diabetes mellitus and multinodular goiter for 8 years.The last 5 years there was a clinical manifestation of PHPT, but the diagnosis was made by an oncologist after the detection of a «brown» tumor of the upper jaw. According to multispiral computed tomography and scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI, a focal lesion was found in the upper jaw on the right, lytic foci in the bones of the cranial vault, pelvis, lower extremities, ribs on the right, as well as a giant parathyroid adenoma on the right. According to the increased risk of the patient having a malignant neoplasm of the parathyroid gland, an extended surgical treatment of PHPT in the enblock volume was carried out with the achievement of remission of the PHPT. This clinical case illustrates a variant of the severe course of PHPT with the development of such a rare complication as fibrocystic osteitis and demonstrates the importance of timely diagnosis.

Pregnancy has been reported to be a trigger in about 10% of all patients with atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS). However, in contrast to pregnancy-associated thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura, the presentation of pregnancy-associated aHUS remains ill defined and can therefore be difficult to diagnose and manage appropriately. Here we report a case of pregnancy-associated relapse of aHUS in a patient with a previous medical history of aHUS prior to pregnancy.

ABSTRACTBrown tumor is a giant cell lesion associated with hyperparathyroidism. It is a non-neoplastic condition and represents terminal stage of the remodeling process in hyperparathyroid state. We report a case of brown tumor with multiple lesions in craniofacial region associated with ectopic parathyroid adenoma revealed after acute L-thyroxine poisoning. This case report emphasizes on the need for routine biochemical investigations along with serum calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone levels in patients on thyroxine therapy.

Cherubism is described as a rare and benign hereditary bone disease, characterized by a bilateral volumetric increase in the maxillary bones, with a greater predilection for males in childhood. Clinically, it presents as a volumetric enlargement of the mandible and, maxilla, which is generally painless, firm on palpation and varies in relation to size and extension. Its differential diagnosis is the Brown Tumor of Hyperparathyroidism and the Central Lesion of Giant Cells. The diagnosis is based on the assessment of clinical characteristics together with complementary exams. The objective of this study was to carry out a brief review of the literature and report a clinical case of this pathology in a 9-year-old child with a family history of cherubism, assessed through imaging, histopathological and karyotype exams, which continues to be assisted by the oral and maxilofacial surgery team of the Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba - FOA Unesp since the treatment of the cherubism still does not have a definitive protocol.

Introduction: Teratoma is an embryonal neoplasm consisted of 3 germinal layers. Teratoma usually arises along the line of embryonic cleft and sinus closure formed by the fusion of skin during the embryonic development. In this case report, we present a case of fetal Teratoma on the vulval region, a very rare variant of the disease. Case: A 28-year-old woman came for a routine check-up for her first pregnancy at her 26th weeks of gestational age. On ultrasound examination, a mass was found around the fetal vulva. There was no mass or malformations on other body parts. Placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid were normal. History of congenital anomaly in the family was denied. The patient then gave birth to a female baby at 38 weeks of gestational age without any complication. The baby was healthy, 2650 gram in weight, 50 cm in length, with good APGAR Score (8-10). On the baby left labia, there was a mass measured 5 cm x 4 cm x 3 cm, with slight discoloration. We recommend an early tumor excision to prevent unnecessary complication such as malignant transformation. Although at the time of writing, the patient still waiting for the schedule to remove the tumor due to a non-medical factor. Conclusion: Congenital Teratoma in the vulvar region was a very rare event. First-line therapy is early tumor excision and usually carries an excellent prognosis.
