Abstract

To report a new association between polyglandular autoimmune syndrome and multiple endocrine neoplasia. We present a detailed case report and discuss the various types of polyglandular failure and multiple endocrine neoplasia. A 56-year-old woman with a past history of primary hypothyroidism and impaired glucose tolerance was admitted to the hospital for removal of renal staghorn calculi. In addition to the presence of mucocutaneous candidiasis, vitiligo, and macroglossia, the patient was found to have truncal obesity, a "buffalo hump," and supraclavicular fat pads. Subsequent workup confirmed the presence of Cushing's disease and primary hyperparathyroidism. A hitherto unreported association between polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type II and multiple endocrine neoplasia type I is documented in our current patient.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Ataxias (MDS)

Ataxia is a neurological condition characterized by lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements including loss of coordination, balance, and speech. Discover the latest research on ataxia here.
