  • Title: Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome: an unusual presentation with empty sella, premature ovarian failure, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis associated with thyroid cancer.
    Author: Leães CG, Rios MC, Passaglia JP, Pereira-Lima JF, Oliveira Mda C.
    Journal: Gynecol Endocrinol; 2012 Dec; 28(12):999-1001. PubMed ID: 22686234.
    Abstract:
    Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes are rare disorders characterized by failure of several endocrine glands, as well as non-endocrine organs, associated with immune-mediated tissue destruction. We report a rare case of polyglandular syndrome type II in a patient who presented with premature ovarian failure, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and empty sella associated with a diagnosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. This case probably represents the first report on this tumor in a patient with polyglandular disorder.
