A 10-year old girl presented with fatigue, hypercalcemia, and subperiosteal phalangeal osteolytic lesions. Ultrasonography and MIBI scintigraphy showed a structure near the lower pole of thyroid gland. The structure macroscopically appeared as adenoma, histologically it was thymic tissue. Bilateral neck exploration together with exploration of cervical thymic extensions was performed; adenoma was not found. During next two years, the level of calcium and parathormone raised, bone mineral density decreased. Ultrasonography, MRI, CT and PET/CT were negative. Adenoma was located by MIBI-SPECT/CT near the left border of jugulum. It was found dorsolateral to left common carotid artery and removed.

Colorectal cancer is a common disease in the United States. The majority of sporadic colorectal cancers develop from adenomatous polyps. In the United States, the incidence of colorectal cancer is declining, most likely because of colonoscopic polypectomy. Adenoma detection rate is affected by the quality of prep, careful mucosal inspection, and withdrawal time. In this issue of the Journal, there is intriguing evidence that the timing of colonoscopy, morning vs. afternoon, affects adenoma detection rate. Physician fatigue is postulated as a factor leading to lower polyp detection rates in the afternoon compared with the morning. Further, prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and determine the effect on clinical practice.

Hepatocellular adenomas (HA) are benign naturally occurring masses that are rarely reported, and rarely reaching tumor size up to 30 cm. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and usually caused by cirrhosis and more commonly reported tumors in males. It has been reported that presentations may occur with masses that are often less than 5 cm or rarely more than 10 cm. We aimed to present a case of hepatocellular carcinoma 72-years old man with fatigue and pain spread on the right upper quadrant; a histopathologic image similar to both telangiectatic variant hepatic adenoma and false diagnosis as "cavernous hemangioma" in the first biopsy specimen. KEY WORDS: Hepatocellular carcinoma, Liver Adenoma.
