Adrenal Lymphangioma Masquerading as a Catecholamine Producing Tumor.
Objective. To report the unusual case of an adrenal lymphangioma presenting in a patient with an adrenal cystic lesion and biochemical testing concerning for pheochromocytoma. The pertinent diagnostic and imaging features of adrenal lymphangiomas are reviewed. Methods. We describe a 59-year-old patient who presented with hyperhidrosis and a 2.2 by 2.2 cm left adrenal nodule. Biochemical evaluat...
متن کاملResection of a Catecholamine-Elaborating Retroperitoneal Paraganglioma Invading the Inferior Vena Cava
Paragangliomas are rare tumors originating outside of the adrenal medulla which can be associated with catecholamine secretion or mass effect, one of which typically leads to their discovery. The differences between these tumors and traditional intra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are a subject of recent investigations. Standard of care therapy is medical management and surgical resection of the tum...
متن کاملCatecholamine Metabolism in Paraganglioma and Pheochromocytoma: Similar Tumors in Different Sites?
Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and paraganglioma (PGL) are catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors that arise respectively inside or outside the adrenal medulla. Several reports have shown that adrenal glucocorticoids (GC) play an important regulatory role on the genes encoding the main enzymes involved in catecholamine (CAT) synthesis i.e. tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH)...
متن کاملRetrocardiac textiloma mimicking a left atrium myxoma.
In December 2009, a 79-year-old white man was admitted to the Department of Cardiology for a moderate dyspnea (New York Heart Association II) with breath. His past medical history included a cardiac surgery with double coronary arteries bypass grafting in 1996 and thyroid cancer treated with surgery and radiotherapy. On admission, the physical examination revealed regular heart sounds at 60 bpm...
متن کاملLaryngeal Paraganglioma: A Diagnostic Challenge
Paragangliomas are neoplasms of neural crest origin. In the head and neck, they uncommonly involve the larynx. The distinction between paragangliomas and other neuroendocrine tumors can be difficult. Precise diagnosis is important in order to optimize patient treatment. Diagnosis relies mostly on histopathologic examination followed by immunohistochemistry. Here we report a 77-year-old woman wi...
