Uveal Melanoma Metastasis to the Thyroid.

Background: Around 1.2 to 3.1% of thyroid malignancies are due to metastasis.

IMPROVING AFTER-HOURS CALLS TO ENDOCRINOLOGY FELLOWS.

Objective: To analyze the frequency and nature of after-hours calls to endocrinology fellows and employ interventions to direct appropriate care to primary endocrinologists.

Methods: The on-call fellows logged calls that came to them during the after-hours and marked them as urgent or nonurgent. We analyzed these calls and then implemented interventions to educate patients on calls that can wait until the next business day.

Fever of Unknown Origin: Could It Be a Pheochromocytoma? A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors that arise from the adrenal medulla, with an incidence of less than 1 per 100,000 person-years. These tumors are characterized by excess catecholamine secretion and classically present with the triad of headaches, palpitations, and sweating episodes. However, the clinical presentation can be quite variable.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma in the Thyroid: A Rare Presentation.

Background: While 2% of all extranodal Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas present in the thyroid, there exists insufficient data to describe the incidence of mantle cell lymphoma in the thyroid. A case series of 1400 patients revealed that <1% of thyroid lymphomas may be MCL; hence better understanding of the disease course is essential.

Patient Findings: A 65-year-old female was referred for a multinodular goiter.
