Scintigraphic patterns of adrenocortical carcinoma: morpho-functional correlates.
OBJECTIVE Adrenocortical scintigraphy has demonstrated clinical utility in the morpho-functional characterization of adrenal tumors. The aim of this study was to identify possible relationships between the scintigraphic pattern and endocrine and/or morphological data in a series of adrenocortical carcinomas. DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty-one patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (11 nonfunctioni...

متن کاملEvaluation of Brain Neurotransmitters by Morpho-Functional Method
SUMMARY This review discribes some of the morphological tools which have allowed not only to discribe the chemical nature of neuronal pathways in the central nervous system but also to approach their physiology and their functions: Enzyme histochemistry; this technique shows the entity of an enzyme in nervous tissue. Immunocyto-histochemistry; based on antigenantibody reaction constitute the ...
متن کاملCutaneous metastasis in a patient with adrenocortical carcinoma
Adrenocortical carcinoma is an uncommon and aggressivemalignancy. Despite a high frequency of metastasis, cutaneousmetastasis of adrenocortical carcinoma is rare with only isolatedcase reports. Its diagnosis can be challenging based solely onhistopathological findings. Yet, the clinical history in combinationwith an immunohistochemical panel consisting of inhibin,vimentin, chromogranin, synapto...
