Cytokeratin expression in adrenal phaeochromocytomas and extra-adrenal paragangliomas.
AIM To examine whether adrenal phaeochromocytomas and extra-adrenal paragangliomas are immunoreactive for commercially available and routinely used cytokeratin antibodies. METHODS 18 extra-adrenal paragangliomas and seven adrenal phaeochromocytomas were stained with CAM 5.2, AE1/3, and 34 beta E12 following microwave antigen retrieval of formalin fixed tissue. RESULTS A single case from the...
متن کاملPheochromocytomas and extra-adrenal paragangliomas detected by screening in patients with SDHD-associated head-and-neck paragangliomas.
Patients with SDHD-associated head-and-neck paragangliomas (HNP) are at risk for developing pheochromocytomas for which screening has been advised. To assess clinical, biochemical, and radiological outcomes of screening in a large single-center cohort of SDHD-positive patients with HNP and to address the necessity for repetitive follow-up, we evaluated 93 patients with SDHD-associated HNP (p.As...
متن کاملAbdominal Pain Caused by Intestinal Lipoma
A 60-year-old male presented to the emergency department (ED) with 24 hours of progressive abdominal pain associated with nausea and vomiting. His physical exam revealed a soft but somewhat distended and tender abdomen, particularly over the mid abdomen and right upper quadrant. Plain radiography was concerning for bowel obstruction. Computed tomography revealed an ileocecal intussusception sec...
متن کاملIntra-tumoral molecular heterogeneity in benign and malignant pheochromocytomas and extra-adrenal sympathetic paragangliomas.
Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) and extra-adrenal sympathetic paragangliomas (sPGLs) are catecholamine-producing tumors occurring in the context of hereditary tumor syndromes, with known germline mutations, and as sporadic tumors. The pathogenesis of sporadic PCC and sPGL is poorly understood, and little is known about intra-tumoral heterogeneity with respect to molecular aberrations. Since knowledge ...
متن کاملAn extra-adrenal abdominal pheochromocytoma causing ectopic ACTH syndrome.
We report a 55-year-old woman with ectopic adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion caused by extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma. The patient presented with a 6-month history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Her serum and urinary cortisol levels were extremely high and dexamethasone failed to suppress the cortisol secretion. Her plasma ACTH levels were also elevated (>300 pg/mL) and irresponsive ...
