A 27-year-old woman who presented with a left thyroid nodule was found to have hyperthyroidism caused by a syndrome of inappropriate secretion of TSH. The levels of free T3, free T4 and TSH were 9.50 pg/mL, 4.05 ng/dL and 2.16 microU/mL, respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed a pituitary macroadenoma. The TSH response to TRH stimulation was normal and responses of other anterior pituitary hormones to stimulation tests were also normally preserved. Administration of octreotide with iodine successfully reversed hyperthyroidism prior to total resection of pituitary adenoma, which was followed by hemithyroidectomy of the left thyroid five months later. Histologically, the resected pituitary adenoma was a TSH-producing adenoma (TSH-oma) and the thyroid nodule was a papillary adenocarcinoma. Serum TSH diminished to undetectable levels immediately following pituitary adenomectomy but gradually normalized over nine months. Coexistence of a TSH-oma with thyroid cancer is very rare and only two similar cases have previously been documented. This combination raises the possibility that TSH may be involved in tumorigenesis in the thyroid gland.

D007455 Iodine A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically. Iodine-127,Iodine 127

D009378 Neoplasms, Multiple Primary Two or more abnormal growths of tissue occurring simultaneously and presumed to be of separate origin. The neoplasms may be histologically the same or different, and may be found in the same or different sites. Neoplasms, Synchronous,Neoplasms, Synchronous Multiple Primary,Multiple Primary Neoplasms,Multiple Primary Neoplasms, Synchronous,Synchronous Multiple Primary Neoplasms,Synchronous Neoplasms,Multiple Primary Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Multiple Primary,Neoplasm, Synchronous,Primary Neoplasm, Multiple,Primary Neoplasms, Multiple,Synchronous Neoplasm
D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

D000231 Adenocarcinoma, Papillary An adenocarcinoma containing finger-like processes of vascular connective tissue covered by neoplastic epithelium, projecting into cysts or the cavity of glands or follicles. It occurs most frequently in the ovary and thyroid gland. (Stedman, 25th ed) Adenocarcinomas, Papillary,Papillary Adenocarcinoma,Papillary Adenocarcinomas
