Introduction: Dyshormonogenetic goiter is a rare cause of congenital hypothyroidism secondary to a defect in thyroid hormonogenesis. Despite early replacement therapy, a compressive multinodular goiter may appear in adulthood.

Observations: We report two patients aged 19 and 28 years, followed since childhood for congenital hypothyroidism, who developed a compressive multinodular goiter treated by total thyroidectomy. Histopathological…

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes substantial morbidity and long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae. Bacterial meningitis may worsen outcomes after TBI, yet its mental health impact is under characterized. This study examined 90-day neuropsychiatric outcomes following post-traumatic meningitis.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network. Two propensity-matched cohorts were…

Lynch syndrome (LS), caused by germline mismatch-repair mutations, increases the risk of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), for which radical nephroureterectomy is the standard treatment. Non-surgical curative management has not been described previously. We report a 48-year-old man with MSH2-associated LS who presented with a 3.5 cm distal ureteric high-grade UTUC. To preserve renal function, multidisciplinary consensus favoured systemic therapy over surgery. He received…

Pleural mesothelioma is a primary malignant tumor of the pleura whose origin is multifactorial. Exposure to asbestos in the home or at work is the main risk factor incriminated in the pathophysiology of pleural mesothelioma. Occupational exposure makes this pathology a notifiable disease. Diagnosis is histological by thoracoscopy, but histopathological study is difficult because pleural mesothelioma has a broad morphological spectrum and poses a problem of differential diagnosis with several…
