Xanthogranuloma of the sellar region: a systematic review.

Knowledge of xanthogranuloma (XG) of the sellar region comes from short series or single cases. We performed a systematic review, using the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, eLibrary, and BIOSIS Preview databases, of all cases reported from 2000 to the present. We also describe one unreported patient treated in our institution.

Ectopic Cushing's syndrome due to thymic neuroendocrine tumours: a systematic review.

Knowledge of ectopic Cushing's syndrome (CS) due to thymic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) comes from short series or single cases. Our aim is to perform a systematic review using PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Ovid Medline and Biosis Previews of all cases with ectopic CS due to thymic NETs reported in the last 40 years and describe one illustrative patient attended in our institution. Search of literature: From 162 patients, 58.

Pituitary Adenomas with Changing Phenotype: A Systematic Review.

Purpose And Methods: Phenotype transformation in pituitary adenomas (PA) is a little known and unexpected clinical phenomenon. We describe two illustrative cases and performed a systematic review of cases reported in literature.

Results: : A 24-year-old woman underwent surgery because of Cushing's disease.

Primary tumors of the posterior pituitary: A systematic review.

In 2017, the World Health Organization established that pituicytoma, granular cell tumor (GCT), spindle cell oncocytoma (SCO) and sellar ependymomas (SE) are posterior pituitary tumors (PPT). They probably arise from the pituicytes and may constitute a unique histopathological entity. We carried out a systematic review using PubMed's database.

Posterior pituitary tumours: the spectrum of a unique entity. A clinical and histological study of a large case series.

Purpose: In 2017, the WHO established that pituicytoma, granular cell tumour (GCT) and spindle cell oncocytoma (SCO) are posterior pituitary tumours (PPT). Recent data suggests that these tumours probably arise from the pituicytes and may constitute a spectrum of a unique histopathological entity. Our aim is to report the clinical findings and surgical outcomes of 16 patients with PPT.

Is Trabecular Bone Score Valuable in Bone Microstructure Assessment after Gastric Bypass in Women with Morbid Obesity?

Introduction: The effects of bariatric surgery on skeletal health raise many concerns. Trabecular bone score (TBS) is obtained through the analysis of lumbar spine dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images and allows an indirect assessment of skeletal microarchitecture (MA). The aim of our study was to evaluate the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and alterations in bone microarchitecture assessed by TBS in morbidly obese women undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), over a three-year follow-up.
