Testicular adrenal rest tumours in salt wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia (in vivo and in vitro studies).

We describe the case of a 20-year-old patient with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) related to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Bilateral craggy testicular tumours were found, requiring histological evaluation. Prior to the surgical procedure, the patient was treated with dexamethasone (he presented cortisol deficiency) and was stimulated with ACTH.

Hodgkin's disease masquerading as fibrous thyroiditis: potential role of cytokines in in vivo and in vitro studies.

Hodgkin's disease appearing as, or associated with, fibrous thyroiditis has only been described rarely. We report the observation of a patient presenting with a goitre, fibrosis of the thyroid and adjacent structures, and hypothyroidism. The histological examination was compatible with fibrosclerotic thyroiditis.
