SUN-158 Testosterone and Cortisol Secreting Large Adreno- Cortical Adenoma

Anaesthesia in Adreno-cortical Hypereunction

PATIENTS WITH adreno-cortmal hyperfunctaon-are not frequently presented to anaesthetists. The proper anaesthetac management for adrenalectomy m these cases reqmres a basic understanchng of the physlopathology of the synch'omes caused by hyperfunetlon of the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex secretes three types of sterold hormones, file glucocorticolds, and the mmeralo-corticolds and hormones ...

Incidentally 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...

Testosterone- and Cortisol-Secreting Adrenocortical Oncocytoma: An Unusual Cause of Hirsutism

Objective. Oncocytomas of the adrenal cortex are usually benign and nonfunctional. They are rarely seen as the cause of hirsutism. Therefore, we aimed to report a case of adrenocortical oncocytoma presenting with hirsutism. Methods. We report a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytoma in a 23-year-old female patient presenting with hirsutism. Results. The patient had the complain...
