Hypothalamic neurocytoma with vasopressin immunoreactivity: Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural observationsEndocrine Pathology - Tập 3 - Trang 99-104 - 1992
John A. Maguire, Juan M. Bilbao, Kaiman Kovacs, Lothar Resch
Hypothalamic tumors of neuronal derivation are rare. We describe the case of a 55-year-old woman with visual disturbances who was found by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to have a sellar and suprasellar tumor. She underwent subtotal surgical resection by a transsphe-noidal approach. By light microscopy the tumor displayed a uniform population of short spindle cells with round to oval nuclei, sep...... hiện toàn bộ
Genomics and Epigenomics of Pituitary Tumors: What Do Pathologists Need to Know?Endocrine Pathology - Tập 32 - Trang 3-16 - 2021
Sylvia L. Asa, Ozgur Mete, Shereen Ezzat
Molecular pathology has advanced our understanding of many tumors and offers opportunities to identify novel therapies. In the pituitary, the field has uncovered several genetic mutations that predispose to pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) development, including MEN1, CDKN1B, PRKRIα, AIP, GPR101, and other more rare events; however, these genes are only rarely mutated in sporadic PitNETs.

Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Accuracy of FNA Diagnosis and Implications for Patient ManagementEndocrine Pathology - Tập 25 - Trang 257-264 - 2014

Follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) creates a continuous diagnostic dilemma among pathologists because of the paucity of nuclear changes of papillary carcinoma and overlapping features with benign and other neoplastic follicular lesions. Current guidelines for the management of thyroid nodules recommend surgery for confirmed PTC, suspicious for PTC, and follicular neoplasm ca...... hiện toàn bộ
An Extraordinary Case of Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma Metastasis in the ThyroidEndocrine Pathology - Tập 26 - Trang 33-36 - 2014
Santiago Ortiz, Francisco Tortosa, Manuel Sobrinho Simões
Secondary tumours of the thyroid gland account for 1.25 to 3 % in clinical series and reach 24 % in autopsy series. Chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumour of chondrogenic nature; the mesenchymal variant represents less than 3 % of all chondrosarcomas, being therefore extremely rare. A mesenchymal chondrosarcoma metastasis in the thyroid is exceptional; to our knowledge, only three p...... hiện toàn bộ
Multiple endocrine neoplasms in a patient with AL amyloidosis-associated plasma cell dyscrasiaEndocrine Pathology - Tập 8 - Trang 153-160 - 1997

Reports on patients with systemic amyloidosis-associated plasma cell dyscrasia (PCD) who have multiple endocrine tumors are very rare. Here we describe such a case. The patient was a 74-yr-old man with amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis-associated PCD who had a null-cell adenoma of the pituitary and a latent papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland, as well as a tubular adenoma of the sigmoid co...... hiện toàn bộ
A Previously Unrecognized Monocytic Component of Pheochromocytoma and ParagangliomaEndocrine Pathology - Tập 30 - Trang 90-95 - 2019
Nada A. Farhat, James F. Powers, Annette Shepard-Barry, Patricia Dahia, Karel Pacak, Arthur S. Tischler
We describe a consistently present, previously unrecognized, population of monocytes in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. Although sustentacular cells are generally recognized as a common component of these tumors, differential immunohistochemical staining for CD163 and S100 shows that monocytes can in fact be more numerous. These cells frequently resemble sustentacular cells topographically a...... hiện toàn bộ
Familial pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas: Stories from the sign-out roomEndocrine Pathology - Tập 17 - Trang 337-344 - 2006
Aurel Perren, Paul Komminoth
In this overview we present five patients with apparently sporadic pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas which turned out to be associated with an inheritable familial disease. For each patient a family history together with clinical, morphological, as well as molecular data are reported. The identified syndromes include multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL), n...... hiện toàn bộ
Null Cell Adenomas of the Pituitary Gland: an Institutional Review of Their Clinical Imaging and Behavioral CharacteristicsEndocrine Pathology - Tập 26 - Trang 63-70 - 2014
James A. Balogun, Eric Monsalves, Kyle Juraschka, Kashif Parvez, Walter Kucharczyk, Ozgur Mete, Fred Gentili, Gelareh Zadeh
The aim of the study was to establish if the null cell adenoma (NCA) forms a distinct subgroup with unique clinicopathological characteristics within the nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma group particularly in relation to the silent gonadotroph adenomas (SGAs). We identified 31 patients with the pathological diagnosis of NCA verified by routine histology and immunohistochemistry with distinct diffe...... hiện toàn bộ
Decreased expression of calcium receptor in parathyroid tissue in patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failureEndocrine Pathology - Tập 14 - Trang 61-70 - 2007
María D. Martín-Salvago, José L. Villar-Rodríguez, Alfonso Palma-Álvarez, Antonio Beato-Moreno, Hugo Galera-Davidson
The response of parathyroid cells to serum calcium is regulated by a calcium-sensing receptor protein (CaR). In patients with chronic renal failure, hypocalcemia contributes to the parathyroid hyperplasia and increased parathyroid hormone secretion characteristic of secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT). However, patients with uremia also display reduced sensitivity to extracellular calcium; this s...... hiện toàn bộ
