Summary Objective To evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with pituitary adenomas comparison healthy Mexican population QoL scores. Design & Measurements Cross‐sectional study using short form 36 questionnaire ( SF ‐36) 175 grouped by adenoma subtype and disease activity, compared them normative Patients A total 44 non‐functioning NFPA ), 48 acromegaly, 53 prolactinomas 30 Cushing CD ) were enrolled this study. Results Mental physical components scores MCS PCS ‐36 lower active...
Cushing's disease (CD) is a life-threating disease, with increased mortality in comparison the general population.This study aimed to evaluate standardized ratios (SMRs) CD patients. We also analyzed independent risk factors related mortality.We conducted longitudinal cohort 3rd level specialty center, from 1979 2018, patients CD.From 1375 cases pathology diagnosis of pituitary adenoma, 191 had confirmed (14%). A total 172 completed follow-up, mean age at 33 ± 11 years, female predominance...
Summary Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a hematological tumor caused by abnormal lymphoid proliferation. NHL can arise in any part of the body, including central nervous system (CNS). However, pituitary involvement quite rare presentation. The diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) most common subtype when infiltrated. Here, we report case infiltration DLBCL type woman with hypopituitarism and an infundibulum-hypophysitis-like image on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A female aged 64 years, complained...
Ectopic ACTH-secretion causing Cushing's syndrome is unusual and its diagnosis frequently challenging. The presence of high-molecular-weight precursors throughout pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) translation by these tumors often not reported. We present the case a 49-year-old woman with three-month history proximal muscular weakness, skin pigmentation, weight loss. Upon initial evaluation, she had full moon face, hirsutism, buffalo hump. Laboratory workup showed hyperglycemia, hypokalemia...
Objective It has been reported that Cushing’s disease due to macroadenoma is characterized by different biochemical features compared with microadenoma. We aimed analyze and compare the clinical of patients micro macroadenomas causing Cushing disease. Methods conducted a retrospective review electronic paper medical records included 139 (108 microdenomas 40 macroadenomas) diagnosis who were studied treated at (undisclosed), in Mexico City from 2000 2017. Clinical characteristics, analysis...
Abstract Background: Hypophysitis is an inflammatory process of the pituitary gland with different origins. Infundibulum may be also involved, called infundibulum-hypophysitis. Sometimes, enlargement causes mass effect and anterior or posterior hormonal dysfunction, including hypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus (DI), respectively. a rare autoimmune disease, however, number cases have been recently increasing due to higher detection related more magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. In...
