Features: The cases collected in this book cover multiple systems in internal medicine, with a higher number of endocrine and metabolic diseases. On one hand, this may be because endocrine and metabolic diseases are often systemic conditions with complex and diverse clinical manifestations. Patients may seek treatment in corresponding specialties due to prominent symptoms in a particular system, leading to misdiagnosis. On the other hand, it may be related to the fact that many grassroots medical units currently lack specialized departments for endocrinology and metabolism, resulting in a lack of both rational and perceptual understanding of atypical manifestations of certain diseases.
