[Carcinoma of the thyroid in childhood].

Authors present two cases of thyroid carcinoma in female patients ages 6 and 7 years with a two month evolution before diagnosis. Thyroid scintiscans showed a "cold nodule" in both. One was a papillary carcinoma and the other a mixed papillary-follicular carcinoma. The long term resulted were good. These neoplasms usually appear as asymptomatic thyroid nodules with normal functional status. Treatment must be medical and surgical. The most frequent type is the papillary carcinoma and the prognosis at 5 years is very good.

[Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome; endocrinologic study (author's transl)].

A case of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is reported in an 8 year old boy of related parents. He presented clinical features of the syndrome, with a normal male karyotype, distal axial triradii and increased number of whorl dermatoglyphic. Cerebral T.A.C. revealed an hypodensity zone in the left cerebral hemisphere. Authors studied the hypotalamo-pituitary axis finding a normal secretion of FSH and LH. The secretion of TSH and PRL under TRH stimulation showed an enhanced response. Plasma GH response to insulin induced hypoglycemia plus L-arginine was within normal limits.
