Portal Vein Thrombosis in the Setting of Newly Diagnosed Cushing's Syndrome.

The hallmark manifestations of Cushing's syndrome (CS) are well known, but hypercoagulability is perhaps least recognized. Patients with CS are at increased risk of both spontaneous and postoperative thromboembolism, with the significant majority of events occurring in the lower extremity and pulmonary venous circulations. We present a case of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) occurring in the setting of newly diagnosed CS due to a left adrenal adenoma.

A retrospective study of the natural history of endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism.

Objective: The treatment of subclinical hyperthyroidism is controversial because the natural history is uncertain. We undertook a retrospective study to examine the natural history of endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism.

Methods: Between 2002 and 2006, we identified 116 patients with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations <0.
