Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in an infant with an adrenocortical tumor.
Nonfamilial cardiomyopathies in childhood have been only sporadically ascribed to endocrine disorders. We report on a 4-month-old male infant presenting with Cushing's syndrome associated with excessive body weight (8.9 kg; >97th percentile) and features of virilization (Tanner stage 2 for pubic hair development). Abdominal sonography showed a large adrenal tumor. Echocardiography revealed myoc...
متن کاملInterpretation of serum alpha-feto protein in an infant with hepatomegaly.
In an oncological setting, the commonest causes of hepatomegaly in infancy are hepatoblastoma, neuroblastoma and vascular tumors (hemangiomas/ hemangioendotheliomas)(l). They often present as asymptomatic liver enlargement. Hence the diagnosis rests on imaging and associated laboratory investigations which need confirmation by histology. Serum alpha-feto protein (AFP) levels often help exclude ...

متن کاملSurgery Management of Rare Hypertrophic Frenum in an Infant
To report a rare case of a lateral frenum hypertrophy in an infant, this paper describes the case of a girl who came to a first dental appointment when she was 4 months old. A hypertrophic lateral frenum in the upper left canine region was detected. A great depression in the gingival rodet separated the anterior maxillary segment from the posterior one and also decreased the lip mobility in thi...
متن کاملPharmacological ceramide reduction alleviates alcohol-induced steatosis and hepatomegaly in adiponectin knockout mice.
Hepatosteatosis, the ectopic accumulation of lipid in the liver, is one of the earliest clinical signs of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Alcohol-dependent deregulation of liver ceramide levels as well as inhibition of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) activity are thought to contribute to hepatosteatosis development. Adiponectin can re...
