    Atorvastatin was on hold... Clinicians should raise the suspicion of rhabdomyolysis in a patient with severe hypothyroidism, especially in patients with recent high dose statin use as rhabdomyolysis can be a rare and fatal complication of severe hypothyroidism, in the presence of precipitating factors.

    At the time of this evaluation, his medication regimen included hydrocortisone 20 mg in the morning and 5 mg in the afternoon, plus fludrocortisone 0.2 mg daily...Though adrenal hyperandrogenism contributes to infertility, in male patients not seeking fertility, adrenal androgens may adequately support virilization and sexual function, so suppression may not be needed to achieve patient goals. However, in those seeking fertility, temporary use of nocturnal glucocorticoids can effectively reverse hyperandrogenemia and restore spermatogenesis and fertility.

    However, in those seeking fertility, temporary use of nocturnal glucocorticoids can effectively reverse hyperandrogenemia and restore spermatogenesis and fertility. Combined therapy with mitotane and etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin (EDP) provided better response rate than mitotane and streptozotocin (N Engl J Med...Mitotane and hydrocortisone were introduced in Nov 2014 and EDP in December 2014...This case illustrates that, although rare, complete long-term remission of advanced metastatic ACC can occur in patients receiving systemic combination chemotherapy including SM and should be considered in patients with advanced ACC when EDP does not achieve a stable response and can be continued until toxic limitations, in our case peripheral neuropathy.

    To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of an opportunistic echinococcus infection presenting as a pituitary lesion in the setting of Cushing Syndrome. We would like to highlight the importance of recognizing opportunistic infections, including Echinococcus as a potential etiology in the setting of hypercortisolism, especially for patients from endemic regions.

    Further, dexamethasone suppression testing showed suboptimally suppressed cortisol (14.4 mcg/dL)...Hypercortisolism can affect all parts of the body, including hormones, muscles, joints and bones.

    RZ358 represents a novel and unique treatment option for refractory HH in patients with metastatic NETs and can improve clinical outcomes when standard interventions fail. This case underscores the potential of RZ358, a monoclonal antibody, to treat HH beyond its approved use for congenital cases, suggesting its applicability to cases of hyperinsulinemia secondary to NETs in adults.

    Diabetic Ketoacidosis as the First Manifestation of Ectopic Cushing (ENDOExpo PosterArea - BCEC) -  May 5, 2024 - Abstract #ENDO2024ENDO_1589;    
    Clinicians should suspect on this etiology of DKA based on clinical signs and cumulative morbidity not typical of a young patient. This hint would lead to the expedite implementation of targeted therapies for initial stabilization of the CS patient, and the timely institution of a proper diagnostic approach and definitive treatment of this challenging patients.

    Hypercalcemia of Immobilization (HCOM) Responding to COVID treatment: A mere coincidence or more? (ENDOExpo PosterArea - BCEC) -  May 5, 2024 - Abstract #ENDO2024ENDO_1558;    
    HCOM is managed by physical therapy, IV hydration, and IV bisphosphonates. Since hypercalcemia of immobilization is a sclerostin-mediated bone resorption process, a short course of steroids or the use of anti-sclerostin monoclonal antibody Romosozumab can be a reasonable treatment consideration however more research is needed for that.

    Five months prior, he had restarted anti-retroviral therapy (ART) after having been out of care for over a year and was diagnosed with disseminated MAC for which he was on azithromycin and ethambutol...He represented one year later with a calcium level of 13.8 mg/dL with suppressed parathyroid hormone levels, which was refractory to bisphosphonate therapy, therefore was empirically initiated on dexamethasone...Vigilant monitoring for complications, particularly life-threatening calcitriol-induced hypercalcemia and timely use of corticosteroids, is crucial. This case also highlights the need for careful oversight in high-dose vitamin D supplementation for individuals with granulomatous disease and vitamin D dysregulation.

    Management Strategies for Hypercalcemia in Breast Cancer with Bone Metastases: A Focus on Glucocorticoids and Cinacalcet (ENDOExpo PosterArea - BCEC) -  May 5, 2024 - Abstract #ENDO2024ENDO_1553;    
    This case demonstrates the unusual occurrence of elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in the setting of solid tumor, thereby suggesting the utility of glucocorticoids as a treatment option for HCM resistant to usual therapy. It also shows the effectiveness of cinacalcet in managing non-PTH-mediated HCM, which possibly works via increased renal clearance of calcium and could be used as an additional effective therapeutic option in these patients.

    A case of non-neoplastic hypercortisolism leading to the diagnosis of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome due to a novel NR3C1 variant (ENDOExpo PosterArea - BCEC) -  May 5, 2024 - Abstract #ENDO2024ENDO_1386;    
    However, serum cortisol levels after an overnight 1 mg-dexamethasone suppression test showed as high as 8.3 ?g/dL with no suppression of midnight serum cortisol levels (8.7 ?g/dL)...In the present case, the absence of physical symptoms suggestive of CS despite hypercortisolemia, and the lack of an obvious cause of non-neoplastic hypercortisolism led to the suspicion of GRS. Identification of NR3C1 variants may rule out CS and avoid unnecessary invasive testing and treatment in such cases.

    With increasing reports of pituitary apoplexy in the setting of SARS-COV-2 infection there is a possibility that COVID 19 may be a risk factor for pituitary apoplexy. Hence, the prevalence of COVID- 19 may increase risk of patients with underlying pituitary tumors to develop pituitary apoplexy.

    Additionally, central adrenal insufficiency was managed with hydrocortisone, and central hypothyroidism with levothyroxine...Surgical resection, the primary treatment modality, proves curative in most cases, albeit with associated morbidity including CSF leak, DI, and panhypopituitarism. The role of adjuvant radiotherapy remains uncertain, potentially considered in cases of incomplete resection or recurrence.This case emphasizes three key aspects: first, the potential misdiagnosis of a lobulated suprasellar mass as craniopharyngioma when it could be pituicytoma; second, the development of postoperative DI due to pituitary stalk involvement; and third, the importance of considering pituicytoma in the differential diagnosis of sellar and suprasellar masses.In conclusion, pituicytoma, though rare, demands a nuanced diagnostic approach and comprehensive postoperative management to address potential complications and optimize patient outcomes.

    Our case displays that, while extremely rare, clinicians should be aware that pituitary adenomas can result in cerebral infarction secondary to mechanical compression of the internal carotid artery, typically caused by an apoplexy event, hemorrhagic or ischemic. Emergent medical and endovascular treatment of the infarction should take precedence, and if clinical stability allows, a delayed surgical approach to resect the pituitary mass may be appropriate.

    Our studies reveal that treating pregnant mice with the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone leads to premature somatotrope maturation...Further supporting this finding, the deletion of Nr3c1 results in a decreased number of GH-positive cells at e16.5.
