ABSTRACT The 48,XXYY syndrome is a rare sex chromosome aneuploidy associated with diverse physical, developmental, and endocrine abnormalities. This case report highlights a 15-year-old male with 48,XXYY syndrome presenting with hypopituitarism and a Rathke’s cleft cyst, offering insights into the interplay between genetic syndromes and pituitary dysfunction. The patient exhibited hyperprolactinemia, central hypothyroidism, central hypoadrenalism, and elevated gonadotropin levels. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic lesion within the sella turcica, consistent with a Rathke’s cleft cyst. The patient also […]

ABSTRACT In this article, we present a case of diffuse follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma with pituitary metastasis, which is a rare cause of pituitary metastasis. The follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is an uncommon variant of papillary carcinoma. A 74-year-old male was presented with weakness, fatigue, and a decreased appetite. The patient was diagnosed with secondary adrenal and thyroid insufficiencies. Imaging revealed a pituitary mass with suprasellar extension, right cavernous sinus invasion, and optic chiasm compression. Thyroid ultrasonography […]
