Interpretation of intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring according to the Rome criterion in primary hyperparathyroidism.
    Scientific reports, 2022, 02-28, Volume: 12, Issue:1

    Intraoperative parathyroid hormone dosage allows real-time monitoring of the decrease in PTH levels during parathyroidectomy and verify procedure's efficacy. Currently, none of the interpretative criteria used has absolute accuracy. The aim of this study is to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of the Rome criterion verifying diagnostic significance of the individual assays. A total of 205 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism from a single adenoma were retrospectively evaluated and monitored with baseline PTH, PTH at 10 min and PTH at 20 min after adenoma excision. The accuracy of the latter two assays compared with baseline was compared by ROC curves. In addition, was evaluated the influence on these data of localization diagnostics (ultrasounds and scintigraphy), definitive histology, and type of surgery performed. The ratio of 20-min sampling to baseline in the Rome criterion showed highest diagnostic significance. This finding was not influenced by the type of surgery performed, definitive histologic examination, or intraoperative localization of the adenoma. The Rome criterion has shown its high reliability in detecting persistence. The ratio of sampling at 20 min to baseline is by far the best performing. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether sampling at 10 min after adenoma excision can be considered not mandatory.

Hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman: a rare case of ectopic adrenal cortical gland.
    Gynecological endocrinology : the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology, 2017, Volume: 33, Issue:3

    Most frequent causes of androgenic manifestation are Cushing's syndrome, PCO, benign and malignant androgen-secreting non adrenal tumors and iatrogenic hirsutism. Hyperplasia or neoplasms of ectopic adrenocortical gland are rare. We report a case of a 63-year old female with hirsutism and alopecia. Laboratory data highlighted increased levels of androgens. Diagnostic imaging revealed normal morphology of adrenocortical gland and ovaries. In view of the clinical picture and suspected diagnosis of extra-adrenal cause, she underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histologic examination showed an ectopic adrenal gland with adenoma in the ovarian and peri-ovarian tissue. At six months of follow up, the patients has no sign of hyperandrogenism. In case of hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women and in the absence of the adrenocortical gland abnormality, ovarian origin should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Primary malignant tumors of the thyroid gland. Histology, age and sex distribution and pathologic correlations in 139 cases.
    Tumori, 1983, Jun-30, Volume: 69, Issue:3

    The classification proposed by Woolner et al. (1961, 1971) has been applied to 139 cases of primary malignant tumors of the thyroid gland diagnosed in one of the largest hospitals of Rome, Italy, over a period of 5 years, from 1977 to 1981. These cases come from 1418 patients with enlargement of the thyroid surgically treated at the 5th Surgical Clinic of the University of Rome. All the histologic slides were re-examined, and the pathology records were reevaluated. Of these tumors, 56.8% were papillary, 30.9% follicular, 9.3% anaplastic or undifferentiated, and 2.1% medullary. There was a female predominance in all age groups and for all types of tumors, reflecting a total female to male ratio of 1.9:1. Papillary carcinoma occurred most commonly in young and young-adult patients, follicular in the middle-age group, and anaplastic in the elderly. The extent of the primary tumor, the presence of regional metastases, and the association with other thyroid nonneoplastic diseases such as lymphocytic and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and nontoxic and toxic goiter were also recorded. Multicentric tumors were found in 38.9% of cases principally represented by papillary carcinomas. Regional lymph node metastases were observed mainly in young patients, and no correlation was found between thyroid cancer incidence and other nonneoplastic thyroid diseases.
