Background
Acromegaly is associated with increased prevalence of thyroid diseases,
particularly of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
Aim
To assess prevalence of thyroid diseases and thyroid cancer in patients with
acromegaly.
Patients and methods
Forty (10 M/30 F) acromegalic patients, 14 residents in iodine deficient areas,
aged 47G12.8 years, were retrospectively reviewed. Mean duration of
acromegaly was 7.6G9.5 years and median post diagnosis follow-up was 4.1
years. GH, IGF1 were measured by chemiluminescence (Liaison), TSH, FT4 by
immunometric assays (Immulite). Thyroid ultrasonography was performed in all
cases, thyroid scintigraphy was performed when indicated; fine needle aspiration
biopsy (FNAB) was performed in suspicious nodules, according to current
guidelines.
Results
Thyroid abnormalities were present in 28 patients (70%) in our series: diffuse
goiter in 8 patients (20%), simple nodular goiter in 5 patients (12.5%), nontoxic
multinodular goiter in 10 patients (25%), toxic multinodular goiter in 4 patients
(10%), Graves’ disease in one patient (2.5%); thyroid carcinoma was found in 3
patients (7.5%). Patients with thyroid nodules larger than 1 cm had significant
longer acromegaly duration (6.1G3.6 years) than patients without nodules or
nodules less than 1 cm (2.1G1.5 years), PZ0.008. Histological type in patients
with thyroid carcinoma was follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma in all
three cases: 2 microcarcinomas and one macrocarcinoma. All three thyroid
carcinomas patients underwent total thyroidectomy and radioiodine treatment
(mean cumulative dose 181.7 mCi 131I) and were in stable remission.
Conclusion
Due to increased prevalence of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, active screening
for thyroid abnormalities is mandatory both in iodine sufficient and deficient
areas, especially in patients with longer duration of acromegaly.

Introduction
Growth of the tongue and mandible and dental pathologies are recognized
consequences of untreated growth hormone excess in acromegaly. However, data
on the frequency of the individual oro-dental pathologies are sparse. We,
therefore, developed a self-report questionnaire on typical oro-dental changes,
therapeutic measures, costs for prosthetic treatment and the role of dental
professionals in the diagnostic process of acromegaly.
Methods
The questionnaire was sent out to 320 patients with acromegaly, operated upon
between 2000 and 2012. 165 answers were received and analyzed statistically
with SPSS. Information on adenoma subtype was provided by the institute of
neuropathology.
Results
About 37% of all patients had visited a dentist at any time during the disease
process due to oro-dental pathologies. Most frequently, growth of the tongue
(54.5%), enlargement of interdental spaces (39.4%), mandibular growth (21.8%)
and mandibular prognatism (20%) were reported. 74.9% of the patients suffered
from an y oro-dental pathology and 9.6% reported these to be under the first selfnoticed symptoms. Seven patients were suspected to have acromegaly by the
dentist. The mean self-spent costs for prosthetic treatment amounted to 1,844V
Endocrine Abstracts (2014) Vol 35
(max. 18,000V). Of those patients with need for dental treatment 42.6% reported
a reduction of visits to the dentist after pituitary surgery. 67.9% of the patients
with proven acromegaly informed their dentist about their disease. While
adenoma subtype had no influence on the occurrence of oro-dental symptoms
(PZ0.816), their occurrence was significantly lower when acromegaly was
diagnosed and treated within 2 years from symptom onset (PZ0.007).
Conclusions
Our data show that oro-dental symptoms are frequent in patients with acromegaly
and incur frequent visits to dental health care providers. Since most of these
symptoms occur during the progressive, untreated course of the disease, we
suppose that an earlier diagnosis of acromegaly would reduce oro-dental
pathologies and result in lowered health care costs.

It is well known that heart failure is associated with oxidative stress (OS).
Reactive oxygen species in fact influence sarcolemmal and mitochondrial ione
channels, which are responsible for cardiomyocyte excitability and are important
in myocardial remodeling after a myocardial infarction. The decrease of anabolic
axes can have a role in the progression of the illness.
In order to evaluate the relationship between growth hormone deficiency (GHD)
and indexes of OS, we have performed a dynamic GH evaluation and determined
oxidized form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) (component of mitochondrial respiratory
chain also endowed with antioxidant properties) in a group of 12 patients (10 male
and 2 female, age 49–73) affected by heart failure (NYHA II-III; EF!40%).
GH secretion was evaluated after administration of Arginine (20 g/500 ml)C
GHRH (50 mg). Basal IGF1 was also assayed. GH was evaluated by CLIA
method, IGF1 by ECLIA and CoQ10 was evaluated by HPLC, as total and
oxidized form, also calculating their ratio (CoQox/CoQtot ratio).
Five out of 12 patients presented a total GHD (mean G ES peak GH: 3.87G
2.73 ng/ml; IGF1: 97.4G9.8 ng/ml). 3 showed a partial GHD (mean G ES peak
GH: 8.98G2.94 ng/ml; IGF1: 143G57.21 ng/ml). While 4 patients showed a
normal GH response (meanGES peak GH: 16.05G0.88 ng/ml; IGF1: 122.5G
24 ng/ml).
CoQox/CoQtot ratio were significantly higher in GHD patients (mean G ES 14G
0.04%) than in patients with normal GH (mean G ES 7G0.01%), thus expressing
an augmented oxidation of the molecule.
These preliminary data indicate that GHD is associated to an increased OS in
patients with heart failure and suggest that this hormonal alteration can have a role
in the physiopathology of this condition.

Introduction
Growth Hormone deficiency (GHD) is frequent in patients with human
immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), undergoing highly active antiretroviral
therapy. GHD seems to depend on HIV-related lipodystrophy and to be less
frequent in women.
16th European Congress of Endocrinology 2014, Wrocław, Poland
Aim of the study
To investigate the association of gender, body composition and GH/IGF1 axis,
and to clarify whether GHD in HIV-infected patients is functional or a clinical
entity.
Methods
We compared 47 HIV-infected patients prospectively enrolled, with 36
hypopituitary subjects retrospectively selected reviewing record charts. We
evaluated basal serum GH, IGF1, GH peak and area under the curve (AUC) after
standard GH Releasing HormoneCArginine test; BMI, waist and hip
circumference and body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(DEXA). Data were analyzed by nonparametric Mann–Whitney test.
Results
HIV-infected patients had higher GH peak, AUC, and IGF1 (P!0.0001). BMI
(PZ0.003), total (P!0.0001) and trunk fat mass (PZ0.0003) were higher in
hypopituitary patients; waist to hip ratio (WHR) was higher in HIV-infected
patients (P!0.0001). GH peak was lower in hypopituitary men than women
(PZ0.001). Men showed higher WHR (PZ0.0082), total (PZ0.0002) and trunk
lean mass (PZ0.0008), while women had higher total (PZ0.0017) and trunk fat
mass (PZ0.0176). No gender differences were found in HIV-infected patients.
GH peak, AUC, and IGF1 were higher (P!0.0001) in HIV-infected than
hypopituitary men. No difference was found in women.
Conclusions
GHD seems to be worse in hypopituitary patients, suggesting that primary
pituitary disease affects GH/IGF1 axis more than HIV-1. Moreover, fat
distribution more than fat mass per se seems to affect GH/IGF1 axis in HIVinfected patients, since they have lower BMI but higher WHR. Furthermore, men
seem to have a worse deficit than women, suggesting a possible role of gender in
GH/IGF1 status. These differences could help distinguishing functional from
clinical GHD in HIV-infected subjects, and better targeting treatment strategies.

Introduction
Pituitary apoplexy is a life-threatening entity developing as a result of ischemia or
hemorrhage into pre-existing pituitary tumor. Clinical course is characteristic and
commonly consists of severe headache accompanied by nausea, emesis, impaired
consciousness, visual field impairment as well as eyeballs movement restriction.
Symptoms are typically accompanied by secondary adrenal insufficiency.
Corticosteroids are drugs of choice regarding coexisting adrenal insufficiency.
In case of a lack of expected both general and neurological improvement during
conservative treatment, a surgery might be necessary. Prognosis in case of a
proper treatment is good.
Aim of the study was prospective evaluation of the results of conservative
treatment of pituitary apoplexy.
Material and methods
The analysis of seven patients (three women and four men) with diagnosed
pituitary apoplexy. Median age was 54 years old (range: 23 to 74 years). All
patients had endocrinological, ophthalmological and radiological assessment
performed before treatment as well as in the follow-up period.
Results
There were no fatal complications. Initial and distant hormonal assessment
revealed impairment of the anterior lobe of pituitary. In no cases diabetes
insipidus had been reported. During conservative treatment the visual field
improved as well as withdrawal of pre-existing paresis of ocular nerves were
obtained.
Conclusions
Conservative treatment is a safe method of pituitary apoplexy’s management.

Objectives
The rarity of pituitary apoplexy renders it a difficult subject for audit; hence there
are no evidence-based standards of optimum care for such patients. The main
controversy in management relates to the role of acute surgical intervention.
Recently, a more conservative management has been adopted towards patients
presenting with this condition. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the differences
in outcome between patients submitted to surgical and conservative management.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate all patients that presented with
pituitary apoplexy since 1998 were followed in Hospital de Braga. Clinical
presentation, management, and clinical outcomes were evaluated. We then
performed a descriptive statistical analysis. Student’s t-test and Pearson’s c2 test
or Fisher’s exact test were used for comparing between groups. We admitted a P
value !0.05 to be statistically significant.
Results
There are no statistically significant differences in outcome between the patients
that had surgery and the patients that followed conservative management, (c2
(1)Z0.002; PZ0.967; nZ50). Differences of statistical significance were found
between the 2 groups in the following data: on average, the operated tumors are
11.67 mm bigger than the ones in patients with conservative management,
(t(48)Z4.925, P!0.001, dZ1.375, r2Z0.32); there are also differences in paraselar extension, (c2(4)Z16.554; PZ0.001; nZ50), and infra-selar extension,
(c2(2)Z7.935; PZ0.013; nZ50), with a bigger concentration of significant
results in Knosp 1 and Knosp 3. The surgical group also presented a bigger
concentration of growth into the sphenoidal sinus, (Adjusted Standardized
Residuals Oj1,96j).
Conclusion
The conservative management should be considered, without presenting an
increased risk for the patients, regardless of clinical presentation, visual deficits,
or endocrinal deficits during admission. However, we do recommend that patients
presenting with tendentially larger tumor diameter or Knosp should be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis in order to determine the best acute management.

Histiocytosis of pituitary gland: a case report
Katarzyna Jankowska, Agnieszka Baranowska-Bik, Jan Bardadin &
Wojciech Zgliczyn´ski
Bielanski Hospital, Warsaw, Poland.
Histiocytosis is a disease caused by growth of histiocytes within one or more
organs. Symptomatology may be very different: from isolated skin or bone
lesions, by diabetes insipidus after life-threatening multisystem form. Diabetes
insipidus as a symptom of pituitary can be observed many years before visibility
of the changes in magnetic resonance imaging.
A case of 59-year-old woman who has experienced diabetes insipidus with no
other symptoms of hypopituitarism is presented in this study. It was the only
symptom of the disease. She felt very well and she didn’t receive any medical
treatment. Increased level of OB, LDH, and decreased urine specific gravity were
found in the laboratory tests. MRI of the pituitary revealed infiltration of the
hypothalamic- pituitary area. Extensive diagnostics was conducted to be sure that
inflammatory didn’t cause the infiltration. During this process, the presence of
numerous, multiorgan changes (numerous small focal lesions in the lung,
gallbladder, and ovaries) was revealed. Because of polyuria she received
desmopressin.
The most nagging discomfort the patient felt in the right ear. The ENT
consultation revealed a change resulting in narrowing of the external auditory
canal. The change within the right temporal bone was described during the CT of
the head. Material collected for histopathological examination during surgery
allowed for the diagnosis: eosinophilic granuloma. The inflammatory infiltration
was composed of lymphocytes and many histiocytes.
Owing to the high risk of complications, pituitary gland biopsy is not performed.
After inflammatory infiltration of the pituitary was excluded, histiocytosis of the
pituitary was recognized. The diagnose of the systemic histiocytosis was
performed and the patient was sent to chemotherapy.
