Objective: Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma(RCC) may develop in different anatomical locationsand after a strict follow up within normal limits. We assessthe importance of close follow up in patients with historyof RCC through 3 clinical cases with unusual locations ofmetastatic RCC.
Methods: We present 3 cases of metastatic involvementof pituitary, thyroid and mammary glands. We retrospectivelyreview our data base on metastatic RCC with 76patients.
Discussion: There is not agreement about the time offollow up and image methods requested after surgery ofRCC. The reason is the development of late onset and atypicalplacement metastases.
Conclusion: Metastatic disease of renal neoplasmscan occur at any time and at any location. It is importantto keep suspicion of metastatic renal disease in patients inthis background, even in those with good progress andregardless of the years that have passed since the initialdiagnosis.

Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, accompanied by multiple endocrine neoplasms of the parathyroid, pancreas, pituitary, and other neoplasms in the adrenal glands. However, in some cases, patients clinically diagnosed with MEN1 may be genotype-negative.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old female was diagnosed with MEN1 based on a macroprolactinoma (19 mm in diameter), primary hyperparathyroidism, and a cortisol-producing adrenal adenoma, without a family history.

Surgical resection of non-functioning pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PitNET) is associated with new onset hormonal axis (HA) dysfunction, and factors predicting HA dysfunction are controversial, especially in large and giant NF-PitNET. Thus, we evaluated the postoperative hormonal function and assessed factors affecting HA dysfunction in patients with NF-PitNET. This prospective observational study involved 50 patients who underwent endoscopic surgical resection of NF-PitNET in the Department of Neurosurgery (April 2023-March 2024).

Methylparaben (MP) belongs to the paraben class and is widely used as a preservative in personal care products, medicines, and some foods. MP acts as an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) on the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. However, the effects of MP have not yet been completely elucidated, as published results are scarce and controversial.

Objective: Evaluation of structural features and metabolic/biochemical abnormalities of the bone tissue and relevant regulation patterns in children, residing in the radiologically contaminated territories (RCT).
Materials And Methods: Children (n = 148) aged 7 to 18 years old were involved in the study. Bone mineral density (BMD) is given in 3 grades according to the mean square deviation values, namely Grade I - standard (n = 75),Grade II - reduced (n = 45) and Grade III - very low one (n = 28).
