The cytological diagnosis of a malignant epithelial tumor, i.e., a cancer cell in the body fluid effusions is usually made by cytomorphological examination alone; however, diagnostic challenges can occur when the cancer cells are rare or cytological atypia is minimal. Morphological Increased bone turnover and other less frequent comorbidities of hyperthyroidism, such as heart failure, have only rarely been reported in association with central hyperthyroidism due to a thyrotropin (TSH)-secreting pituitary adenoma (TSHoma). Treatment is highly empirical and relies on eliminating
