Commentary on "Co-Occurrence of Pituitary Adenoma With Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas".

Recently, published an article by Lim et al. (2016) entitled . They claimed it as the first case of co-occurence of these two malignancies.

Association of parathyroid carcinoma and thyroid disorders: A clinical review.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare malignancy, which usually occurs as a sporadic disease, and less frequently in the setting of genetic syndromes. Despite the association of parathyroid and thyroid disorders being quite common, the coexistence of parathyroid carcinoma and thyroid disease is rare. We reviewed the pertinent literature.

Spontaneous intermittent MRI changes of a pituitary stalk lesion causing diabetes insipidus and amenorrhea.

Lymphocytic infundibulo-neurohypophysitis is a rare disorder. We report the case of a 29 year-old woman with diabetes insipidus and amenorrhea, in whom the magnetic resonance imaging demonstration of a pituitary stalk lesion was intermittent. We suggest that, in patients with endocrine dysfunction and positivity of circulating antipituitary antibodies at high title, magnetic resonance imaging should be repeated after few months, if negative.

Temozolomide therapy in patients with aggressive pituitary adenomas or carcinomas.

Temozolomide is effective in some patients with progressive pituitary adenoma or carcinoma. We report a survey study of Italian patients treated with Temozolomide because of aggressive pituitary adenoma or carcinoma resistant to standard therapies. Italian endocrinologists were surveyed and asked to participate into the study.

Cardiovascular outcomes and conventional risk factors in non-diabetic adult patients with GH deficiency: A long-term retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: To investigate the association between cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and cumulative CV events in patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) receiving GH replacement therapy (GHRT).

Methods: 53 non-diabetic adult GHD patients, aged 45.4±14.

Thyroid hemiagenesis, Graves' disease and differentiated thyroid cancer: a very rare association: case report and review of literature.

Objective: Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the absence of a lobe and/or of isthmus. Studies on the association between thyroid hemiagenesis, Graves' disease and differentiated thyroid cancer are rare.

Case Presentation: We describe the medical and surgical history of a patient in whom a molecular evaluation was performed.

Effects of GH replacement therapy on thyroid volume and nodule development in GH deficient adults: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Despite the well-known effects of GH/IGF1 signaling on the thyroid, few data are available on the risk of developing nodular goiter in hypopituitary subjects during GH replacement therapy (GHRT). We aimed to define the effects of GH therapy on thyroid volume (TV) and nodular growth.

Design: The records of 96 subjects (47 males and 49 females, median age 48 years) with GH deficit (GHD) were investigated.

Primary growth hormone insensitivity (Laron syndrome) and acquired hypothyroidism: a case report.

Introduction: Primary growth hormone resistance or growth hormone insensitivity syndrome, also known as Laron syndrome, is a hereditary disease caused by deletions or different types of mutations in the growth hormone receptor gene or by post-receptor defects. This disorder is characterized by a clinical appearance of severe growth hormone deficiency with high levels of circulating growth hormone in contrast to low serum insulin-like growth factor 1 values.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 15-year-old Caucasian girl who was diagnosed with Silver-Russell syndrome at the age of four and a half years.

Temozolomide-induced shrinkage of a pituitary carcinoma causing Cushing's disease--report of a case and literature review.

Temozolomide (TMZ) is an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent that has recently been used in some cases as a new therapeutic tool for pituitary carcinomas and aggressive pituitary adenomas. In this report, we present the case of effective TMZ treatment in a 42-year-old man with ACTH-secreting carcinoma. The tumor grew progressively over 4 years, from 2.

Lymphocytic hypophysitis: differential diagnosis and effects of high-dose pulse steroids, followed by azathioprine, on the pituitary mass and endocrine abnormalities--report of a case and literature review.

We report on a man with a progressively increasing pituitary mass, as demonstrated by MRI. It produced neurological and ophthalmological symptoms, and, ultimately, hypopituitarism. MRI also showed enlargement of the pituitary stalk and a dural tail phenomenon.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene mutation analysis in children and adolescents with sporadic pituitary adenomas.

Objective: Pituitary adenomas occur rarely in childhood and adolescence. Pituitary adenoma predisposition (PAP) has been recently associated with germline mutations in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene. The aim of the study was to examine the proportion of germline AIP mutations in apparently sporadic paediatric pituitary adenomas.

Atrial parasystole in left ventricular noncompaction: a morphofunctional study by echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Isolated left ventricular noncompaction is a recently recognized age-independent cardiac genetic disorder caused by heterogeneous defects in endo-myocardial morphogenesis. Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance are the most reliable techniques to make a diagnosis of the disease, noninvasively. Arrhythmic atrial and ventricular disorders have been reported in 20-50% of these patients.

MRI finding of simultaneous coexistence of growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma with intracranial meningioma and carotid artery aneurysms: report of a case.

Coexistence of pituitary adenoma, intracranial meningioma and cerebral aneurysm has never been described. We report on a patient with GH-secreting pituitary macroadenoma associated with a right frontal meningioma and with two intracavernous asymptomatic aneurisms. A 61-year-old woman was referred to our Endocrine Unit 13 years after a right frontal craniotomy for a pituitary tumour.

Echocardiographic assessment of subclinical left ventricular eccentric hypertrophy in adult-onset GHD patients by geometric remodeling: an observational case-control study.

Background: Most patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) show high body mass index. Overweight subjects, but GHD patients, were demonstrated to have high left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and abnormal LV geometric remodeling. We sought to study these characteristics in a group of GHD patients, in an attempt to establish the BMI-independent role of GHD.
