5(10)-en-3β-ol scintigraphy showed high uptake in the adrenal gland leading to a misdiagnosis
ADRENAL-SPECIFIC RADIOLIGAND, 131I-6β-iodomethyl-19norcholest-5(10)-en-3β-ol (131I-adosterol)1 was developed in the 1970s. Increased uptake of the agent in tumor regardless of visualization of the contralateral gland suggests that the adrenal mass is usually a benign cortical adenoma.2 This agent has the potency to diagnose lesions of the adrenal cortex and has been widely used to diagnose lesi...
متن کاملComparative study of ultrasound, 131I-19-iodocholesterol scintigraphy, and aortography in localising adrenal lesions.
Twenty-seven consecutive patients with endocrinological disease necessitating adrenal surgery underwent blind preoperative investigation with ultrasound, renal aortography, and adrenocortical scintigraphy for an adrenal lesion. Nine patients had pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome, five had pituitary-independent Cushing's syndrome, four had an adrenocortical androgenic excess, and nine had a...
متن کاملThyroid Remnant Estimation by Diagnostic Dose 131I Scintigraphy or 99mTcO4− Scintigraphy after Thyroidectomy: A Comparison with Therapeutic Dose 131I Imaging
In this clinical study, we have compared routine diagnostic dose (131)I scan and (99m)TcO4(-) thyroid scintigraphy with therapeutic dose (131)I imaging for accurate thyroid remnant estimation after total thyroidectomy. We conducted a retrospective review of the patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and subsequently receiving radioactive iodine (RAI) ...
متن کاملWerner Syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus Accompanied by Adrenal Cortex Cancer
Werner syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by progeria, diabetes mellitus, cataracts and various types of malignancy. However, there are few reports showing adrenal cortex cancer in subjects with Werner syndrome. We herein report an extremely rare case of Werner syndrome accompanied by adrenal cortex cancer. Based on the data obtained from blood samples, computed tomography, magnet...
