Giant Adrenal Adenoma with Hyperaldosteronism

Giant adrenal adenoma with hyperaldosteronism.

1. Adrenal tumor. (A) Abdominal computed tomography showed a large mass with smooth margin, 6.0 cm in diameter, in the left adrenal gland. No sweling of the lymph nodes around the tumor was observed. (B) An adenoma measuring 7.5×6.0×5.5 cm and weighing 122 g with a smooth surface was removed. Its cut surface was golden yelow. (C) HE stain ×20. The adenoma was encapsulated. The adjacent normal a...

Angiotensin II receptor subtypes on adrenal adenoma in primary hyperaldosteronism.

Patients with an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) characteristically fail to show an increase in plasma aldosterone (PA) concentration with maneuvers that increase angiotensin II (Ang II), yet they retain a brisk response of PA to adrenocorticotrophic hormone. Therefore, adrenal Ang II receptor binding was characterized in a patient with APA who had a blocked PA response to Ang II infusion b...

Hyperaldosteronism from adrenal carcinoma.

criteria for a diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. In a more recent report of an outbreak of the disease Dunnet (1963) described 80 cases; the diagnostic criteria used were stringent. Though almost all of the 80 cases had evidence of hepatic involvement and 13 (16%) had electrocardiographic changes, only a few had the radiological appearances of enlarged hilar lymph nodes and none had pulmon...

Primary hyperaldosteronism due to an adrenal adenoma in a 14-year-old boy.

Conn's syndrome due to an adrenal adenoma is very rare in children. This paper reports a 14-year-old boy with primary hyperaldosteronism due to an adrenal adenoma. His biochemistry data were compatible with either bilateral adrenal hyperplasia or an adrenal adenoma. A dexamethasone test did not suppress aldosterone levels. Venous catheter sampling and 75Se-selenomethylcholesterol scanning sugge...
