متن کاملMyelolipomas of Both Adrenal Glands
Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, nonfunctional benign tumor that is composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. In the past, these tumors were accidentally discovered at autopsy. Today, they are found much more frequently and incidentally, mainly because of the widespread use of noninvasive imaging with ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Most l...

A 43 year old patient with Addison's disease secondary to extensive metastases to both adrenal glands is presented. Thirty two previously reported cases are reviewed; in only 13 cases was the diagnosis of Addison's disease confirmed biochemically.

متن کاملThe surgery of the adrenal glands.
The adrenal glands are essential to life. Surgical treatment is governed by whether one or both the glands is involved. Both the cortex and medulla of each gland exercise important physiological functions. When diseased, they give rise to clear-cut endocrine syndromes, but the clinical picture may become obscured by polyglandular interaction. Adrenal disease, as a consequence, is diagnosed earl...
متن کاملThe Influence of the Adrenal Glands On
In another paper the remarkable effect of pyogenic infections on the adrenal cortex is reviewed (1). The hypertrophy of the adrenal cortex found in chronic infections may reasonably be interpreted as due to an increased demand made upon the physiological function of that tissue. The characteristic lipoids in the cells of the cortex which are present even in complete fasting rapidly disappear in...
