Endo IV Flashcards
graves disease
MCC hyperthyroid
antoAbs - IgG - stimulate TSH receptor
diffuse goiter, retroorbital fibroblasts (exophthalmos)
dermal fibroblasts - pretibial myxedema
toxic multinodular goiter
patch hyperfunctioning follicular cells
-work independent of TSH - mutation in receptor
hot nodule - rarely malignant
thyroid storm
stress induced catecholamine surge
agitation, delirium, diarrhea, coma, tachyarrhythmia
tx - beta block, PTU, corticosteroids
jod basedow phenomenon
thyrotoxicosis if pt with iodine deficiency goiter is made iodine replete
thyroidectomy compliactions
hoarse - recurrent laryngeal n
hyperCa - PTH damage
papillary carcinoma of thyroid
MC - excellent prognosis
orphan annie nuclei
psammoma bodies
nuclear grooves
lymph invasion
increased with RET and BRAF or child radiation
psammoma bodies
papillary carcinoma of thyroid
papillary carcinoma of ovary
mesothelioma
meningioma
lymphoma
with hashimoto thyroiditis
anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid
undifferentiated
invasive
poor prognosis
older pts
follicular carcinoma of thyroid
good prognosis
uniform follicles
medullary carcinoma of thyroid
from parafollicular C cells
-produce calcitonin
sheets cells in of amyloid stroma
heme spread common
association of medullary carcinoma of thyroid
MEN 2A and 2B - RET mutations
chvostek sign
tap face - twitch
with hypoCa
troussea sign
occlude brachial artery
-get twitch
hypoCa
pseudohypoparathyroidism
albright hereditary osteodystrophy
-unresponse kidney to PTH
hypoCa
short 4/5 digits and short stature
auto dom
familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
defective Ca sensing - parathyroid cells
-PTH cannot be suppressed
mild hyperCa with normal PTH levels
