A case of asymptomatic cortisol producing adrenal adenoma.
We describe a man without the clinical findings of Cushing's syndrome, but who harbored an incidentally found cortisol-producing adrenal adenoma. On adrenal 131I-adsterol imaging, there was good uptake to the nodule, but no visualization of the contralateral adrenal. No abnormalities were found in the basal plasma cortisol, ACTH, urinary free cortisol and 17OHCS. However, dynamic hormone assess...
متن کاملDiagnosing a Unilateral Cortisol-Producing Adrenal Adenoma in a Patient on Exogenous Glucocorticoids
Cushing syndrome due to the administration of pharmacologic doses of glucocorticoids is common, whereas hypercortisolism from an adrenal mass is quite rare. Adrenal masses are incidentally detected with a prevalence ranging from 8.7–12.4%, and most of these lesions are hormonally inactive. In this article, we describe a unique patient with a glucocorticoid-producing adrenal mass who was diagnos...

متن کاملRepeating adrenal vein sampling when neither aldosterone/cortisol ratio exceeds peripheral yields a high incidence of aldosterone-producing adenoma.
OBJECTIVES In primary aldosteronism, adrenal vein sampling (AVS) suggests unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) when the aldosterone/cortisol (A/F) ratio is less than or equal to peripheral on one side and at least two times peripheral on the other. When A/F ratios are lower bilaterally than peripheral despite adequate samples (adrenal venous cortisol ≥3 times peripheral), we recommend...
متن کاملIncidentally Discovered Aldosterone and Cortisol Cosecreting Adrenal Cortical Adenoma
As the frequency of performing abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning is increasing, owing to the increased quality of medical services, the prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas is also rising. Although most adrenal incidentalomas are benign and nonfunctioning, a substantial proportion demonstrates subtle hormonal hypersecretion. Adrenal adenomas mainly manifest as autonomous cortisol secr...
