Abiraterone Acetate Withdrawal Syndrome: Does It Exist?
In 2011 abiraterone acetate (AA) was approved for the treatment of castrate-resistant metastatic prostate cancer patients who have failed docetaxel chemotherapy. We report the case of a patient who experienced a confirmed PSA decrease of ≤50% after stopping AA, mimicking an antiandrogen withdrawal syndrome.
متن کاملCushing syndrome caused by adrenocortical tumors and hyperplasias (corticotropin- independent Cushing syndrome).
Endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) is caused by excess adrenal glucocorticoid secretion that is adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-dependent or independent; ACTH-independent adrenocortical causes of CS account for up to 20% of CS in adults, and 15% in children over age 7 years. In younger children, ACTH-independent CS may account for as many as half of the CS cases. In both adults and children, adrenocor...
متن کاملThe Many Faces of Primary Aldosteronism and Cushing Syndrome: A Reflection of Adrenocortical Tumor Heterogeneity
Adrenal cortical tumors constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with distinct clinical, morphological, and molecular features. Recent discoveries of specific genotype-phenotype correlations in adrenal cortical adenomas have transformed our understanding of their respective endocrine syndromes. Indeed, a proportion of patients with primary aldosteronism are now known to harbor adrenal cort...
متن کاملCyclical Cushing syndrome presenting in infancy: an early form of primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease, or a new entity?
Cushing syndrome is uncommon in childhood and rare in infancy. We report the case of a 3-yr-old child who presented with symptoms of Cushing syndrome beginning shortly after birth. Her hypercortisolemia was cyclical, causing relapsing and remitting symptoms, which eventually led to suspicions of possible Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Investigation at the National Institutes of Health excluded e...
