The use of beta blocking drugs as a preparation to the sub-total thyroidectomy in Graves's disease allows to shorten the pre-operation time. However, besides the observance of classical contraindications, it requires that patient who remain hyperthyroid are closely looked after. Within these limits, it seems to be quite useful for patients who need to quickly come back to euthyroid status.
On a thirteen-aged girl an autonomous thyroid nodule with hypersecretion, has run its course towards hemorragic necrosis with suppression of hypersecretion. If partial cystic degeneration of autonomous thyroid nodule is frequent, it rarely occurs when extra-nodular thyroid tissue is completely suppressed, with clinical "cure".
An unusually located mesenchymal tumor with hypoglycemia is observed. Insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, glucagon levels are within the normals. The glucogenic aminoacids have also been measured, as well as the NSILP which was three times as high as the upper limit of normal values. The various processes which might have brought about the patient's hypoglycemia are discussed.
