Most thyroid nodules are of epithelial origin. However, primary thyroid mesenchymal tumors (TMTs), arising from the mesenchymal tissue, are being increasingly recognized. More than 20 different forms of benign and malignant TMTs have been described in the literature. Thyroid schwannoma is an extremely rare type of TMT, with only a few cases reported to date, accounting for less than 1% of all schwannomas. It primarily affects adults, with no significant sex predilection, and is often discovered incidentally during evaluation for thyroid nodules. Due to its rarity, the clinical presentation and natural history remain poorly understood, underscoring the importance of histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis and management. We describe a case of a patient with thyroid schwannoma who was diagnosed and managed at our center, contributing valuable insights to the limited body of knowledge on this rare entity. This is followed by a detailed description of the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of thyroid schwannomas.","PeriodicalId":73540,"journal":{"name":"JCEM case reports","volume":"3 3","pages":"luaf018"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11815493/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although AVN is often associated with exogenous glucocorticoid treatment, it can occur in endogenous CS but may be unrecognized because of its rarity and possibly from a subclinical presentation. We describe a case of a 71-year-old male with florid Cushing disease who initially presented with bilateral hip AVN and later developed bilateral shoulder AVN despite achieving biochemical remission following transsphenoidal surgery and adjuvant stereotactic photon radiosurgery. AVN in endogenous CS is underreported, and guidance on routine screening is lacking. Our case underscores the importance of considering AVN in patients with CS, especially in those with persistent or recurrent joint symptoms and markedly elevated cortisol levels. Early detection of AVN is crucial as it can lead to irreversible joint damage and disability if untreated. Screening strategies should be explored to identify high-risk patients who are diagnosed with CS for timely intervention, thereby preventing long-term morbidity associated with AVN.","PeriodicalId":73540,"journal":{"name":"JCEM case reports","volume":"3 2","pages":"luaf001"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11795648/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143257526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a case of concomitant exacerbation of Graves orbitopathy (GO) and myasthenia gravis (MG) after SARS-CoV-2 infection. A 43-year-old woman had diplopia, proptosis, and swollen eyelids. Blood tests showed thyrotoxicosis and positive thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, and orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed enlarged extraocular muscles. She was therefore referred to our hospital with diagnosis of GO. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy (MPT) in combination with orbital radiotherapy were performed for 3 weeks, and ocular symptoms improved. At 41 weeks, the patient was infected with SARS-CoV-2 and felt sudden worsening of diplopia and ptosis. MRI showed an enlarged right inferior rectus muscle. MPT and orbital radiotherapy were performed again for 3 weeks for the suspected GO, but there was insufficient improvement of the ptosis. Serum antiacetylcholine receptor and anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase antibodies were negative, but the patient was further evaluated with repetitive nerve stimulation test and ice pack test, and diagnosis was double-seronegative MG. Pyridostigmine treatment led to dramatic improvement of the ptosis. SARS-CoV-2 infection could exacerbate MG as well as GO. Careful diagnosis is required for ocular symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially when there is double-seronegative MG.","PeriodicalId":73540,"journal":{"name":"JCEM case reports","volume":"3 2","pages":"luaf019"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11775584/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143070044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pineal gland hormone melatonin regulates GH secretion in many mammals, including humans, although its role in modulating GH secretion has been debated. We describe the case of a young woman chronically taking melatonin for sleep disturbances, referring to her general practitioner for flushing that appeared just after starting melatonin intake. Laboratory findings showed elevated plasma levels of GH and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). She did not show clinical features resembling acromegaly. The evaluation of pituitary and pituitary end organ hormones showed normal plasma levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), estradiol, free thyroid hormones, cortisol, and prolactin. Urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels were normal. One month after melatonin withdrawal, her plasma levels of GH, together with IGF-1, completely normalized. An oral glucose suppression test showed a normal response of GH secretion, further excluding an autonomous secretion. Physicians should be aware of the possible interference of melatonin on GH secretion to prevent misleading diagnosis of autonomous secretion thus avoiding valueless and costly clinical investigations.","PeriodicalId":73540,"journal":{"name":"JCEM case reports","volume":"3 2","pages":"luaf006"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11773383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143061363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
