If a person has a pheochromocytoma that is only producing Nor but no Epi, what can you conclude…
It is localized outside the adrenal medulla most likely since adrenal medulla is only place epi is formed
Neuroblastoma findings, labs, etc…

Often following flulike illness, can have early hyperthyroid signs then hypothyroid. Have jaw pain, tender thyroid, incr ESR. Histo shows granulomatous inflammation
Riedel’s thyroiditis…
Thyroid replaced by fibrous tissue (hypothyroidism). Presents w/ fixed, rocklike, painless goiter
Pathophys of sudden death of Grave’s patient…
After stressor such as infxn, trauma, child birth, radiation, etc. patient has catecholamine surge and gets arrhythmia
Histo findings and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma…
Most common. Empty appearing (ground glass or orphan annie) nuclei, calcified psammoma bodies, nuclear grooves. Incr risk w/ childhood radiation but good prog
Histo findings and pognosis of follicular CA of thyroid…
Uniform, encapsulated follicles. Good prognosis
Histo findings and prognosis of medullary carcinoma…
From parafollicular C cells so produce calcitonin w/ sheets of cells in amyloid stroma. Asso w/ MEN 2A,B
Causes of hypercalcemia…
Calcium ingestion, HyperPTH, Hyperthyroid, Thiazides, MM, Pagets, Addisons, Neoplasms, ZE syn, Excess vit D, Excess vit A, Sarcoidosis
Labs in primary hyperPTH… what can it lead to…
Incr PTH, incr Ca, hypercalciuria so can get renal stones, incr ALP, incr cAMP (PTH decr cAMP levels). Get weakness and constipation, psychiatric symptoms or bone cysts filled w/ fibrous tissue (ost fibrosa cystica)
What happens to the chief cells of parathyroid gland if get decr gut Ca or P absorption from CRF (decr vit D)… labs… what can it lead to…
