Since 1 year ago, she lost 15 kg despite eating adequately. Later, the patient developed exophthalmos, prompting consult. On PE, PR 105/min, regular; RR of 24/min; BP 130/80; T 37.2 C; BW 52.7 kg. Thyroid lobes are easily palpable, moves with deglutition, soft, nontender, no nodules noted. Chest and abdominal findings are normal.

A. Explain the signs and symptoms in this patient. B. Discuss the etiopathogenesis of exophthalmos and weight loss in this patient?

She has been diagnosed to have "diffuse toxic goiter ". A. Which laboratory and ancillary procedures are necessary to evaluate patient's condition? B. What would be the expected results?

Eventually, thyroidectomy was done. A. Which of the following histopathology is compatible with patient's history and physical examination findings? B. Differentiate the histopathologic findings as to: 4. morphology and etiopathogenesis 5. epidemiology 6. clinical manifestations 7. possible outcome / complications

CASE 2 Firm mass on the neck A 34 y/o female noted “slight swelling” of the neck during pregnancy. After giving birth, the swelling persisted on one side.

Case 5 Uncontrolled hypertension A 53 y/o male, experienced episodes of “headiness” and nape discomfort, increasing in frequency and severity. His symptoms were relieved upon intake of antihypertensive medication. In between attacks, he is apparently normal. During the last attack, BP was 190/110, PR 102/mi, RR 26/min, Temp 36.8 C. Initial work-up revealed slight tachycardia on ECG, normal CXR and elevated 24hr urinary VMA. He was informed of possible pathology in adrenal gland causing hypertension.
