Myelolipoma within a non-functional adrenal cortical adenoma.
Myelolipoma within an adrenal cortical adenoma is a very rare cause of adrenal incidentaloma, and only nine cases have been reported in the English and Japanese literature. We report a 66-year-old Chinese man, with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia, who presented with lower limb oedema and had a computed tomography (CT ) of the abdomen done to exclude intra-abdominal mass. His lower...
متن کاملMR appearance of an ectopic intraspinal adrenal cortical adenoma.
An ectopic adrenal cortical adenoma presented as an intradural spinal mass in an 8-year-old girl with bilateral leg pain. The patient had no endocrine symptoms of an adrenal adenoma despite abnormally high levels of androstenedione found within the tumor. The purpose of this article is to highlight the diagnostic radiologic aspects of this unusual neoplasm. The adrenal cortex develops from the ...
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...
متن کامل[Cortical adrenal adenoma as a cause of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy].
the prevalence rate of cushing’s syndrome (cS) in the general population is 1 per 500,0001. cortisol-secreting adrenal adenoma is the most common cause of cS in pregnant women. Unlike adrenal carcinoma or hyperplasia, which are associated with excess androgen production, most adrenal adenomas are pure cortisol producers. the predominance of adrenal adenoma as a cause of cS in pregnancy may be r...
متن کاملRefractory hypoglycemia in a patient with functional adrenal cortical carcinoma
Adrenacarcinomas are rare, and hypoglycemic syndrome resulting from the secretion of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) by these tumors have been described infrequently. This study describes the case of a young woman with severe persistent hypoglycemia and a large adrenal tumor and discusses the physiopathological mechanisms involved in hypoglycemia. The case is described as a 21-year-old w...
