Incidental Parathyroidectomy During Thyroid Resection: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcome
CONCLUSION: The incidence of incidental removal of parathyroid tissue during thyroidectomy is 16.4%. Total thyroidectomy, extrathyroidal extension of the tumor, and thyroiditis were found to be the risk factors. Hypocalcemia was significantly higher among patients who had inadvertent parathyroidectomy. Ann Saudi Med 2011 ; 31 (3): 274-278PMID: 21623057 DOI: 10.4103/0256-4947.81545 (Source: Annals of Saudi Medicine)

Pattern of Presentation in Type 1 Diabetic Patients at the Diabetes Center of a University Hospital
CONCLUSION: The pattern of presentation of type 1 diabetes has changed as the incidence of DKA has decreased; unlike in previous studies, DKA was not the most common presenting symptom in this study. Chronic complications of diabetes, such as retinopathy, neuropathy, coronary heart disease, and nephropathy are mostly rare but still present. These complications might be prevented by achieving better awareness of the need for glycemic control. Ann Saudi Med 2011; 31(3): 243-249PMID: 21623052 DOI: 10.4103/0256-4947.81529 (Source: Annals of Saudi Medicine)

Soft Tissue Mass of the Chest Wall as the Sole Manifestation of Brucellosis in a 7-Year-Old Boy
We report the case of a child who presented with a subcutaneous mass on the left side of the chest wall of one month's duration. The mass was painful and increasing in size over time. He had a history of weight loss and a decrease in appetite, but no history of fever or trauma. He had ingested raw camel milk, but had no history of contact with animals. He was diagnosed by the standard tube agglutination titer and tissue culture for brucellosis, treated with surgery and three months of antibrucella antibiotics. The report includes a brief review of the current pediatric literature to familiarize pediatricians with this unco...

Paget Disease of the Bone: Does it Exist in Saudi Arabia?
We present four cases of Saudi patients with Paget disease with variable presentations. The first case, a 63-year-old woman with a history of papillary thyroid cancer, presented with bone, shoulder and chest wall pain and foci of uptake in the ribs and skull that were thought to be metastases, indicating the possibility of diagnostic difficulty in a patient with history of malignancy. Bone biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Paget disease. The second case was a 47-year-old asymptomatic woman with an elevated alkaline phosphatase of 427 U/L, a common presentation but at an unusual age. Plain x-rays and bone scan confirmed the...
