ABSTRACT
A patient with hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism presented with diplopia that resolved with surgical removal of his parathyroid adenoma and normalization of his serum calcium values. No previous report of this feature of hyperparathyroidism has been reported.

Large cell calcifying Sertoli tumor of the testis was found in a 16-year-old boy who had presented with gynecomastia. Serum estrogen level, which had been elevated preoperatively, returned to normal following orchiectomy. Charcot-Bottcher crystalloids are demonstrated in the neoplastic Sertoli cells.

Hypertrophy of the renal columns of Bertin may present as a mass, at times difficult to distinguish from neoplasia or cyst. Herein, we present a case characterized by the inability of this lesion to absorb 99mTc DTPA (99mTechnetium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) isotope on two separate renal studies.
