Abstract Disclosure: Y. Ahmed: None. S.M. Saad-Omer: None. R.M. Castro: None. M. Rivera: None. M.N. Stan: None. Background: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a cornerstone in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Its accuracy during long term follow up is not well established though. Our project aims to address that. Objective: To assess long-term accuracy of FNA results at Mayo Clinic Rochester including diagnostic classifications, procedural and cytologic variables, and concordance with surgical pathology. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent thyroid FNA at Mayo Clinic Rochester in 2014, to allow for the long-term follow-up. Descriptive statistics summarized patient demographics, nodule characteristics, and procedural factors. Cross-tabulation was used to evaluate concordance between FNA cytology and surgical pathology. This is an interim analysis. Results: Among 199 patients (from 741 FNAs that year), the mean age was 58.6 ± 14.1 years, and 73.7% were female. The average BMI was 29.6 ± 6.4 kg/m². Most had non-toxic multinodular goiter (69.3%) or non-toxic solitary nodules (27.6%). Nodules were 45% solid, 8% cystic, and 47% mixed, with a mean size of 2.3 cm. FNA results were predominantly benign (Bethesda II, 80%), followed by malignant (Bethesda VI, 8%), suspicious for follicular neoplasm (Bethesda IV, 7.5% ), non-diagnostic (Bethesda I, 3%), and suspicious for malignancy (Bethesda V,1%). There were no cases read as Bethesda III (AUS) in 2014. Of the 16 Bethesda VI cases, 15 had surgery; 14 were confirmed malignant, and 1 was benign (Hurthle cell adenoma). Both Bethesda V cases that underwent surgery were benign. Of the 15 Bethesda IV cases, 12 had surgery; 11 were benign and 1 was malignant and 3 had long term follow up (2 benign, and one malignant based on the available data). Overall the malignancy rate for Bethesda IV was 13.3%. Surgery was performed in 12 Bethesda II cases, with final pathology available for 11; 9 were confirmed benign, while 2 were malignant. In the other 147 cases of benign FNAs that didn’t undergo surgery we have not identified any indication of necessity for surgery during the mean of 9 years of follow-up, presumably indicating their benign character. Overall malignancy rate for this group was 1.3%. We had only 6 non diagnostic FNAs (Bethesda I), with all of them during follow up proven benign (2 by surgery, 2 by repeat FNA and 2 by long term follow up). Conclusion: Long term follow up data (over 9 years) support the continued reliability of Bethesda II and VI , while conversely raising questions about the significance of the Bethesda V classification. The malignancy rate in Bethesda IV (likely including the Bethesda III category at the time) is consistent with our institutional data, although it remains lower than that reported by other institutions. We’re currently enriching our cohort to verify and strengthen our conclusions. Presentation: Monday, July 14, 2025

T. Mckenzie: None. T. Foster: None. M. Lyden: None. B. Dy: None. V. Balderrama Brondani: None. I. Bancos: None. Background: Patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) are at risk for adrenal insufficiency (AI) after unilateral adrenalectomy. Guidelines recommend initiating glucocorticoid replacement post-adrenalectomy. However, identifying patients at risk and accurately diagnosing AI can enable individualized management. Objectives: Determine the prevalence, duration and predictors of postoperative AI after unilateral adrenalectomy for MACS and compare baseline and peak cortisol post cosyntropin stimulation test (CST) In diagnosing AI. Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with MACS who underwent unilateral adrenalectomy and post-operative CST evaluation between January 1, 2013, and August 31, 2024. MACS was defined as cortisol >1.8 mcg/dL following overnight administration of 1 mg dexamethasone (DST-cortisol). AI was diagnosed when post-operative day 1 early morning baseline cortisol was <10 μg/dL and/or CST peak cortisol was <18 μg/dL. Baseline and peak cortisol levels were considered concordant when both met cut-offs. Biochemical (BSS) and clinical (CSS) severity scores were calculated. Results: Among 281 adults with MACS (80% women, median age 57 years, interquartile range [IQR] (47-64), the median adenoma size was 3.0 cm (IQR, 2.3-3.9), and 62 (22%) had bilateral disease. The median BSS was 4 (IQR, 3-5), and the median CSS was 6 (IQR, 2-11). Postoperative AI was diagnosed in 153 (54.5%) patients. A multivariable analysis showed that a higher BSS (OR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.01-1.36) and younger age at diagnosis (OR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.50-0.81), but not sex, BMI, or laterality, were associated with AI. Diagnosis of AI was concordant based on the baseline and peak CST cortisol cutoffs in 78% of patients. Diagnosis of AI was discordant in 22%: in 35 patients (12%), baseline cortisol was <10 μg/dL, but CST peak cortisol was ≥18 μg/dL, and in 28 cases (10%), baseline cortisol was ≥10 μg/dL, but CST peak cortisol was <18 μg/dL. Patients with bilateral MACS were more likely to have discordant results (32% vs. 19%, P < 0.001). During a median postoperative follow-up period of 15.4 months, 108 patients (70.6%) recovered from AI. The median time to recovery was 3.9 months (IQR, 3-5.9), with 41% recovering by 3 months, 60% by 6 months, and 73% by 12 months. The median time to recovery was associated with baseline BSS: mild: 3 months, moderate: 4.7 months, and severe: 14.5 months. Conclusion: We found that more than half of patients with MACS develop postoperative AI, with 50% recovering by 4 months post-surgery. BSS was associated with both the development and duration of AI. Baseline and CST peak cortisol results were concordant only in 78% of patients, thus performing both should be considered for an accurate diagnosis of AI. Presentation: Sunday, July 13, 2025

Abstract Disclosure: D. Hamadi: None. A. Algeciras-Schimnich: None. M. Stan: None. Background: Thyroid hormone-binding proteins (TBPs)—thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), transthyretin, and albumin—play a critical role in transporting thyroid hormones in the bloodstream. Rare genetic alterations in these proteins can lead to discordant thyroid function test (TFT) results, potentially mimicking thyroid dysfunction despite a clinically euthyroid state. This study retrospectively evaluates the clinical scenarios that warrant TBP testing. Methods: Data was extracted from the electronic medical record (EMR) at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. The study included patients who had Thyroid-binding protein electrophoresis (TBPE) ordered between 2016 to 2023. Results: A total of 138 patients were included (53% female; median age: 58 years) of which 42% had TBP abnormalities. TBP testing was frequently ordered by endocrinology (33%), followed by cardiology (9%) and family medicine (7%). Discrepancies between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and total T4 (TT4) were identified in 41 patients of which 75% had abnormal TBP. Among these, eleven were diagnosed with familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH), including one with a known family history. Additionally, five patients were diagnosed with thyroid hormone resistance—one of whom had previously been misdiagnosed with Graves’ disease. Three patients were found to have TSH-secreting tumors, and three were receiving infusion therapy with patisiran with resulting TBP abnormalities. The remaining cases involved binding protein abnormalities, most commonly presenting as elevated TBG. Conclusion: This study identified varied clinical utilization for TBP testing, from very appropriate indications to cases of doubtful clinical utility. TBP abnormalities were clinically meaningful in 22% of cases, supporting the utility of testing in select scenarios. Specifically, TBP testing should be reserved for situations with a clear discrepancy between clinical presentation and TFT results—particularly discordant TSH and total T4 levels. In such contexts, TBP assessment is valuable in preventing misdiagnoses and avoiding unnecessary treatments, especially since individuals with TBP mutations are typically clinically euthyroid.

Background: Bilateral adrenalectomy (BLA) is a seldomly performed treatment for hypercortisolism, pheochromocytoma, or metastatic adrenal disease that leads to permanent primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). PAI due to BLA is seldomly studied independently of PAI due to autoimmune adrenalitis (AA), despite differences in onset of disease, and neither group has large-scale data focusing on factors that impact quality of life (QOL) post-PAI. Furthermore, no study to date has compared patients’ burden of disease or number of adrenal crises in patients with PAI due to BLA versus patients with PAI due to AA. Methods: We conducted a dual-center, cross-sectional study of adults with PAI due to AA or BLA, 2022-2025. All participants completed a questionnaire on symptoms, management, adrenal crises, and an adrenal insufficiency-specific QoL survey (AddiQoL). Outcomes included AddiQoL scores and self-reported adrenal crises. Pearson correlations were used to explore relationships with AddiQoL scores. Logistic regression models were used to examine associations with having an adrenal crisis in the past year. Results: Of the 343 participants, 203 had AA (median age of 54 years, IQR 42-67, 72% women) and 140 had BLA (median age of 57 years, IQR 44-67, 76% women). Median duration of PAI was similar for AA and BLA cohorts (13 vs 10 years, P=0.205). Patients with AA and BLA were treated with hydrocortisone (84% vs 78%), prednisone (19% vs 21%), or dexamethasone (1% vs 1%), with a similar median daily hydrocortisone equivalent dose (21 mg vs. 20 mg, P=0.259). No group differences in availability of glucocorticoid injections (85% vs 83%) and medical alert bracelet (81 vs 83%) were reported. AddiQoL scores were similar between patients with AA and BLA (median 84 vs 83, P=0.984). AddiQoL score was better in older patients (R=0.16, P=0.003), men (R=0.17, P=0.002), daily hydrocortisone ≤ 20 mg/day (R=0.11, P=0.04), and those with supportive health insurance (R=0.20, P<0.001). Patients with AA reported a higher number of adrenal crises since diagnosis (median of 0.1/person-years, IQR 0-0.4 vs 0/person-years, IQR 0-0.3, P=0.046), as well as in the last year (25% vs 13%, P=0.022), compared to patients with BLA. In a multivariable model of age, sex, glucocorticoid dose, availability of glucocorticoid injection/medical bracelet, type of PAI, and number of symptoms, patients with AA (OR 2.1, 95%CI 1.0-4.4) and those with more symptoms (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1-1.3) were more likely to have an adrenal crisis within the last year. Conclusion: We found no differences in the QoL scores, burden of disease, symptoms, or management of patients with AA and BLA. However, patients with AA reported more adrenal crises both overall and within the last year of assessment. Presentation: Sunday, July 13, 2025

Abstract Disclosure: A.J. Han: None. S.J. Achenbach: None. B.J. Atkinson: None. I. Bancos: None. Background: The prevalence of adrenal adenomas continues to rise with increased utilization of imaging. However, much remains unknown about what risk factors may predispose individuals to develop adrenal adenomas. In this study, we aimed to identify modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors associated with development of adrenal adenomas. Methods: Historical case-control population study was performed. Patients diagnosed with adrenal adenoma between 2005-2017 with no evidence of overt hormone excess were paired with age- and sex-matched individuals without a diagnosis of adrenal adenoma who had a CT/MRI scan performed within 5 years prior to index date. The prevalence of various social and metabolic risk factors present within 10 years prior to index date (date of adrenal adenoma diagnosis) was compared. Results: Total of 670 patients (median age 63, IQR 53-74 years, 56% women) with adrenal adenomas were identified. At 10 years prior to index date, patients with adrenal adenomas had a higher body mass index (BMI) (median 30.1 vs 28.2 kg/m2, p<0.001), lower socioeconomic status (SES) based on Area Deprivation Index (36.2% with national percentile score >50 vs 30.9%, p=0.037), and more tobacco use (70.2% vs 61.4%, p=0.001), compared to referent subjects. Patients also had a higher prevalence of diabetes (17.5% vs 11.7%, p=0.003) 5-10 years prior to index date, but no difference in prevalence of hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, stroke, or heart failure was observed between groups. Based on multivariable analysis, increased BMI and tobacco use 10 years prior to index date was associated with increased odds of adrenal adenoma diagnosis with odds ratio (OR) of 1.18 (95% Confidence Interval 1.06-1.32) and 1.41 (1.06-1.87), respectively. Conclusions: Compared to controls, patients with adrenal adenoma were more likely to be obese, have lower SES, endorse tobacco use, and demonstrate evidence of impaired glucose metabolism at least 5-10 years prior to diagnosis. In particular, increased BMI and prior tobacco use was associated with increased odds of adrenal adenoma diagnosis. Further exploration of these intricate relationships may help identify modifiable risk factors for development of adrenal adenomas. Presentation: Saturday, July 12, 2025

Background: Hypertension has been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for ages. Coupled with endocrine disorders, it poses a greater risk of indisposition to the U.S population. This CDC wonder analysis explores the trends and patterns of these disorders, stratified by states and rural/urban. Methods: To attain this objective, this retrospective study has utilized data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) database to assess endocrine disorder-related mortality rates in the pediatric population from 1999 to 2011. Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) and Annual Percent Change (APC) were used to evaluate trends and produce age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 people. Data was stratified by year, sex, race/ethnicity, state-wise and geographical regions. Statistical significance and confidence intervals were used to assess the reliability of the observed trends. Results: Between 1999 and 2020, 2383332 deaths in the United States were attributed to endocrine-related mortality with underlying hypertension. The Overall AAMR initially rose steeply from 10.7 in 1999 to 24.9 in 2001 (APC: 34.3; 95% CI: 9.5 to 56.7), followed by a period of further steady increase in AAMR till 36.5 in 2018 (APC: 1.6; 95% CI: 0.6 to 2.1). This progressive increase in AAMR then sharply spiked from 2018 onwards, reaching 51.7 in 2020 (APC: 18.1*; 95% CI: 9.3 to 23.5). Notable discrepancies were observed in urbanization. Non-metropolitan areas showed a higher AAMR (35.5) than metropolitan (31.5). State-level analysis revealed substantial heterogeneity, including Mississippi as the state of the highest AAMR (58.6). Conclusion: The concerning rise of AAMR in non-metropolitan areas and Mississippi calls for more targeted health-care policies. These findings underscore the need for geographically tailored public health interventions to address disparities in endocrine disorder-related mortality in these groups.

Background: Hypertension is a major global health issue, affecting nearly half of U.S. adults. It is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases like stroke, heart attack, and heart failure. Additionally, it is often linked to endocrine disorders, which can result in secondary hypertension. Endocrine disorders contributed to a concerning 2,383,332 deaths in the United States between 1999 and 2020, with many of these individuals having underlying hypertension. Methods: Death certificate data for adults aged 25 and older were obtained from the CDC-WONDER database. Crude mortality rates (CMR) and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 individuals were computed. Temporal trends were analyzed by calculating the annual percent change (APC) and the average annual percent change (AAPC) in the rates using Joinpoint regression analysis. Results: The age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) rose sharply from 10.7 (95% CI:10.6-10.9) in 1999 to 24.9 (95% CI: 9.5 to 56.7) in 2001, then continued to increase steadily to 36.5 (95% CI: 0.6 to 2.1) by 2018. From 2018 onwards, the rate spiked significantly, reaching 51.7 (95% CI: 9.3 to 23.5) in 2020, which coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic. Men had higher overall AAMR i.e. 36.6 as compared to women 28.4 during the span of this study. Stratifying by race, Non-Hispanic Blacks or African Americans had the highest overall age-adjusted mortality rate at 64.4 vs non-Hispanic whites, who had the lowest rate at 27.6. Southern states exhibited the highest mortality rates among the census region followed by the Western, Midwestern, and Northeastern regions. In contrast, the Annual Mortality Rates (AAMRs) displayed similar patterns across all regions. Regarding age, people aged 85 and above had the highest mortality rate among all the age groups while ages 25-34 had the lowest. Conclusion: Endocrine disorders associated with underlying hypertension showed an increasing trend throughout the study period, peaking during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings account for immediate targeted interventions directed at the most vulnerable demographic and geographical groups Presentation: Monday, July 14, 2025

Abstract Disclosure: A. Riaz: None. R. Haider: None. F. Naseer: None. S. Fatima: None. A. Khan: None. M. Mal: None. A. Qadeer: None. INTRODUCTION: Giant mastauxe is a rare neonatal condition characterized by excessive breast enlargement, with a breast bud diameter exceeding 3 cm. It is an exaggerated form of common neonatal breast enlargement (1 to 2 cm) that typically resolves within six months. This condition results from maternal estrogen withdrawal, which triggers prolactin release and breast tissue proliferation. Its pronounced presentation raises parental concern and requires clinical evaluation to exclude pathological causes. Very few reports exist in literature on it. Here we report a rare case of giant mastauxe, highlighting its presentation and management. CASE PRESENTATION: A 1-month-20-day-old male infant came with bilateral breast enlargement and milky discharge since birth. There was no history of trauma or redness. He was born at 39 weeks via vaginal delivery, weighing 3100g, with APGAR scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Mother had no history of antenatal infections or drug intake, except for iron, calcium, and folic acid supplements during antenatal visits.On examination, the respiratory rate was 54 breaths/min, heart rate 140 beats/min, temperature 98.5°F, and oxygen saturation 99%. Bilateral, non-tender, non-erythematous breast swelling with soft consistency and milky discharge was noted (right: 5.1×3.2 cm; left: 3.8×3.0 cm), with retracted nipples and no skin changes.Laboratory tests showed normal leukocytes and CRP. Ultrasonography revealed enlarged breasts with dilated ducts/cysts. Diagnosed as Giant mastauxe, malignancy and inflammation were ruled out. Treatment included Miconazole gel, Miconazole nitrate, Hydrocortisone cream, Iron polymaltose complex, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, and Lysine.After 3 weeks, follow-up showed reduced breast size with retracted nipples and no infection. DISCUSSION: Giant Mastauxe is breast bud enlargement more than 3 cm. Postnatally, falling maternal estrogen triggers prolactin secretion in the newborn’s pituitary, leading to breast stimulation and milk secretion in 5-20% of infants. The breast's engorgement correlates with plasma prolactin, implying the infant’s prolactin drives the response. The cause of exaggerated hormonal response in neonatal mastauxe is unclear but may involve heightened sensitivity to estrogen or prolactin. increasing the risk of malignancy later. Ultrasound typically shows hypoechoic tissue for diagnosis. The condition resolves on its own, and requires simple follow-up every two months. Presentation: Saturday, July 12, 2025

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of semaglutide on body mass index (BMI) and cardiometabolic profiles in adolescents with genetic variants associated with a likely high risk of monogenic obesity. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for adolescents with severe obesity who underwent multigene panel testing for monogenic obesity and were treated with semaglutide. Results: Data from 27 adolescents were analyzed. At baseline, the median BMI percent of the 95th percentile (IQR) was 148 (135-189), with a mean age (SD) of 15.5 years (1.93) at treatment initiation and a median (IQR) treatment duration of 8 months (6-12). The median semaglutide dose (IQR) was 1.7 mg weekly (1.0- 2.4). Seven participants comprised the ‘’likely monogenic risk’’ group, characterized by predicted deleterious variants in dominant genes and/or carrying known dominant risk alleles. Twenty patients formed the “indetermined/negative “group, defined as harboring single rare variants in recessive genes or negative panel testing. In the likely monogenic risk group, weight loss was 8.5% with a median decrease in BMI % of the 95th %ile of 17 (95% CI 1.5- 22, p = 0.02). In the indetermined/negative group, weight loss was 7.6% with a median decrease in BMI % of the 95th %ile of 14 (95% CI 11.5- 27.5, p = <0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in median BMI % of the 95th % ile reduction between the two groups (p = 0.8) or BMI percent change (p = 0.89). Cardiometabolic changes in the likely monogenic risk group included reductions in HbA1c by 0.3% (95% CI: 0.15- 0.4, p = 0.03), total cholesterol by 15 mg/dL (95% CI: 7- 48, p = 0.03), and non-HDL cholesterol by 16.5 mg/dL (95% CI: 12- 40, p = 0.03). No significant changes were observed in fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, or ALT levels. The indetermined/negative group exhibited a significant reduction in HbA1c by 0.25% (95% CI 0.1 - 0.7| p = 0.009). Conclusion: Semaglutide treatment was associated with significant reductions in BMI and improvements in several cardiometabolic parameters in adolescents with likely high-risk monogenic obesity variants. These findings suggest semaglutide as a potentially effective therapeutic option for managing severe obesity in this population. Larger prospective studies are warranted to confirm and further assess these outcomes. Presentation: Monday, July 14, 2025

Introduction: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic condition characterized by obesity and considerable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. While cardiometabolic and endocrine comorbidities are commonly associated with BBS, data on their prevalence, particularly in children, remain limited. Objective: To assess the prevalence of cardiometabolic and endocrine comorbidities among pediatric and adult patients with BBS. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of pediatric and adult patients with BBS evaluated in the outpatient setting at Mayo clinic. The cohort included individuals aged 0-50 years with either a clinical or genetic diagnosis of BBS, identified from January 1, 2000, onward. Demographic, anthropometric, phenotypic, and biochemical data were reviewed. Results: The study comprised 34 patients, including 9 children (median age 8 years (IQR: 3.5-11)) and 25 adults (median age 33.5 years (IQR: 27-42)). Females constituted 56% of the cohort and White individuals accounted for 76%. The median age at diagnosis of BBS was 9 years (IQR: 3-16). Phenotypic characteristics included retinal dystrophy in 33% of children and 92% of adults, polydactyly in 78% of children and 52% of adults, and learning disabilities in 56% of children and 52% of adults. Obesity was prevalent in 56% of children and 80% of adults. Among children, their median maximum BMI % of the 95th percentile was 149% (IQR: 136-163%). Adults had a a median maximum BMI of 50 kg/m² (IQR: 43-55). There was insufficient data to determine the onset of hyperphagia; however, the median age of obesity onset for the cohort was 7 years (IQR: 4-11). No cases of diabetes or prediabetes were identified among children, whereas 40% of adults were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Cardiometabolic characteristics included hypertension in 11% of children and 48% of adults, kidney dysfunction in 33% of children and 56% of adults. Dyslipidemia was noted in 22% of children and 44% of adults, with median triglyceride levels 133 mg/dL (IQR: 93-153) in children and 142 mg/dL (IQR: 120-200) in adults. No cases of cardiovascular disease were identified in children, whereas 8% of adults were diagnosed with the condition. Endocrine characteristics included hypothyroidism in 11% of children and in 24% of adults. Of the 34 patients, genotype data were available for 28 individuals (82%). The most prevalent genotype was BBS1, comprising 27% of the cases. This was followed by BBS2 and BBS10, which each accounted for 15% of the cohort. Genotypes BBS4, BBS6 (MKKS2), IFT172, and SCLT1 were each observed in 3% of the cohort. Conclusion: This study highlights the significant clinical, cardiometabolic, and endocrine burden associated with BBS across children and adults. These findings underscore the importance of early and comprehensive multidisciplinary management of BBS. Keywords: Bardet-Biedl syndrome, obesity, cardiometabolic, endocrine comorbidities.
