[Comparison of differentiated thyroid carcinoma staging systems in a Spanish population].

Background And Objective: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma staging is increasingly important due to the current trends to a less intensive therapy in low-risk patients. The TNM system is most widely used, but other systems based on follow-up of several patient cohorts have been developed. When these systems have been applied to other populations, results have been discordant.

Long-term evolution and outcomes of microprolactinoma with medical treatment.

Introduction: Prolactinoma is the most frequent functioning pituitary adenoma. Most commonly occurs as microprolactinoma (less than 1cm in size), which may be cured with medical therapy, but few long-term studies are available about optimal duration of treatment with dopamine agonists to ensure cure after drug discontinuation and its withdrawal without recurrence are do not report consistent results.

Objective: To establish criteria for cure of microprolactinoma with medical treatment and to analyze the potential predictors involved.

[Feminizing adrenal tumours in Spain: report of a case and review of the five previously published patients].

Feminizing adrenal tumours are very rare. We report the clinical and hormonal study of a case, a 49 years old male, since his first consultation until his death 6 years after the initial diagnosis, and a review of the other 5 Spanish patients previously published. His initial symptoms were gynecomastia and libido decrease, with increase of plasmatic and urinary oestrogen levels, plasma testosterone near low normal level and a right adrenal gland tumour that, after its removal, showed a benign histology and was classified as an adrenocortical adenoma.
