[Primary adrenal lymphoma in incidentally discovered adrenal tumour].

The new imaging techniques used during the last several years: ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have improved detection of non-functional adrenal tumours s.c. "incidentaloma".

[Graves-Basedow disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation].

One severe aplastic anaemia case who presented autoimmune thyroid disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (alloBMT) is described. A 19 year old Polish girl developed Graves' hyperthyroidisms 19 months after allogeneic BMT for severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) donated from her brother. Her serum was positive for thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAb) and anti-thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (aTPO) while her brother remained euthyroid, seronegative for TSAb, and showed no clinical signs of thyroid pathology.

[Hypopituitarism and hematological abnormalities mimicking myelodysplastic syndrome. Report of four cases].

Insufficiency of the pituitary gland and hematological abnormalities may coexist in the context of two syndromes. In the course of some hematopoietic neoplasms, particularly acute leukemias, the pituitary insufficiency may be caused by destruction of the gland either by direct neoplastic infiltration or occlusion of vessels. Alternatively, thy pituitary dysfunction may be associated with but not caused by hematological abnormalities, usually mild peripheral cytopenias.
