Introduction
Gynecomastia is defined as a palpable enlargement of the mammary gland in males that is distinguishable from lipomastia. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and characteristics of different causes of breast enlargement in young males referred to our tertiary center, and evaluation of the factors associated with gynaecomastia. 相似文献8.
Gynecomastia is an enlargement of male breast resulting from a proliferation of its glandular component, and it is usually due to an altered estrogen-androgen balance. It should be differentiated from pseudogynecomastia, which is characterized by fat deposition without glandular proliferation and from breast carcinoma. Gynecomastia could be physiological in neonates and pubertal or pathological due to drug intake, chronic liver, or renal disease, hyperthyroidism, testicular or adrenal neoplasms, and hypogonadism whether primary, or secondary. Properly organized work-up is needed to reach the cause of gynecomastia. Here, we reported a case of a young Omani man with gynecomastia with the aim of creating awareness of the occurrence of Klinefelter’s syndrome (KS) in patients with gynecomastia, to observe any differences in clinical presentation of KS from those reported in the literature, and highlight the needed diagnostic work-up and treatment.Gynecomastia is an enlargement of male breast resulting from a proliferation of its glandular component. It is usually benign, bilateral, and characterized by the presence of a rubbery or firm mass around the nipples. It usually results from either increased estrogen level, increased breast sensitivity to estrogen,1 or low testosterone level. The highest incidence of gynecomastia is reported during neonatal period, puberty, and aging due to physiological disturbances. Pseudogynecomastia, which is often seen in obese men, refers to fat deposition without glandular proliferation and should be differentiated from gynecomastia. Therefore, male breast enlargement can be fatty (pseudogynecomastia or lipomastia), pure gynecomastia, or mixed. Our objective in presenting this particular case is to create awareness of the occurrence of Klinefelter’s syndrome (KS) in patients with gynecomastia, to observe any differences in clinical presentation of KS from those reported in the literature, and highlight the needed diagnostic work-up and treatment. 相似文献

Background
Eclampsia is rare in molar pregnancy. Sudden cortical blindness in eclampsia is an uncommon but very dramatic experience for the patient. Because of its rarity, blindness associated with eclampsia may pose a significant problem for the obstetrician. 相似文献10.

Edema associated with ibuprofen therapy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A 15-kg weight gain developed in a patient during the third week of ibuprofen therapy. The edema disappeared with discontinuation of the drug regimen and did not reappear during a subsequent six-month observation period. It should be recognized that ibuprofen may be associated with salt and water retention in the same fashion as previously described with phenylbutazone and indomethacin. 相似文献

Myocarditis associated with methyldopa therapy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Five patients with hypertension died as a result of myocarditis. Three were treated with methyldopa and hydrochlorothiazide, two with methyldopa alone. Their ages ranged from 30 to 71 years. In all instances death occurred suddenly, and myocarditis was not suspected clinically. The inflammatory changes in the hearts of these patients were most consistent with a hypersensitivity reaction. Additionally, there was hepatitis consistent with hypersensitivity in four of the cases. 相似文献

A case report of a patient with agranulocytosis associated with sulphasalazine therapy is described. Recovery followed supportive therapy and withdrawal of the drug. Investigations including tests for leucocyte antibodies, the presence of which might have suggested an immunological cause for the drug reaction, were negative; an acetylation study, however, characterized the patient as a ‘slow’ acetylator phenotype, suggesting that the drug reaction was more likely to have been toxic in nature. It is suggested that acetylation studies be performed in patients who have previously shown serious side effects to sulphasalazine to assess the incidence of ‘slow’ acetylators. 相似文献

Acute renal failure and hyperkalemia due to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have been described in diabetic patients with other predisposing conditions. The case reported here involves a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus, microalbuminuria and normal renal function who was treated with enalapril. Two years after initiation of this therapy, at a time when glycemic control was poor, he presented with symptomatic hyperkalemia and impaired renal function accompanied by hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism. This case illustrates that reversible impairment of renal function and hyperkalemia can present after 2 years of treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in patients with precipitating factors. 相似文献
