Severe Hyponatremia Secondary to Pituitary Macroadenoma With Internal Hemorrhage in the Postpartum Period: A Case Report.

Pituitary macroadenomas, especially those complicated by internal hemorrhage (pituitary apoplexy), can lead to severe endocrine dysfunction and visual disturbances. This is particularly challenging to diagnose in the postpartum period due to physiological changes associated with childbirth and breastfeeding. This case report aims to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic complexities of managing severe hyponatremia and visual changes in a woman with a pituitary macroadenoma in the postpartum period.

Calcitonin-secreting pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in a patient with elevated thyroid fine-needle aspirate calcitonin washout: A case report and review of the literature.

We report the unique case of a patient with previously proven non-functional PanNET and Graves' disease with thyroid nodules. The patient had elevated intranodular calcitonin, but no MTC or c-cell hyperplasia on thyroidectomy. They were found to have calcitonin secreting PanNET.

While up to 20% of cases may be predicted due to autosomal dominant germline mutations, 80% of cases are sporadic. However, due to non-specific presenting symptoms and diagnostic imaging, prompt diagnosis and treatment has remained elusive.
