Acromegaly Presenting With Cricoarytenoid Joint Arthropathy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Excess growth hormone in acromegaly induces characteristic acral and soft tissue overgrowth (particularly in the face and hands), arthropathies, as well as cardiovascular and metabolic complications. Similar proliferative changes can occur in the larynx, where hypertrophy of the arytenoid and cricoid cartilages may impair vocal fold mobility.

Prevalence of Hypercementosis in Radiographic Studies: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis With Clinical Implications for Endodontic Assessment

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hypercementosis is a non‐neoplastic condition characterized by excessive cementum deposition along the root surface, resulting in altered apical morphology. Although often asymptomatic and detected incidentally on radiographs, changes in apical contour may influence anatomical complexity in endodontic treatment.
