A brain MRI was requested secondary to the elevated prolactin level which was compatible with empty sella syndrome. Conclusion The case presented here has the unique feature of adrenal deficiency presenting alongside the SAPHO syndrome and is presented as the first case reported. This syndrome could ...
Aromatase deficiency in male and female siblings caused by a novel mutation and the physiological role of estrogens. The 28-yr-old XX proband, followed since infancy, exhibited the cardinal features of the aromatase deficiency syndrome as recently defined. She had non... A Morishima,MM Grumbach,...
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a disease that can manifest alone or associated with other conditions. Adrenal glands involvement is a rare presentation. There are few cases reported in the literature. We present two cases of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome that compromise the adrenal glands and be...

diagnosis should be considered in young men with Addison's disease. Secondary adrenal insufficiency results fromACTH deficiency, due to hypothalamic or pituitary lesions or surgery, or suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis by exogenous steroid administration. The differential diagnosis of ...
Production of ACTH by nonpituitary tumors can also result in hypercortisolism. These tumors are frequently malignant and account for approximately 10% of cases of CS. The hypercortisolism of ectopic ACTH syndrome can precede a cancer diagnosis by many years and include lung, thyroid, gastrointestin...
