متن کاملRecurrent pulmonary embolism in an elderly patient with Cushing's syndrome, adrenocortical adenoma, pheochromocytoma and prostate adenocarcinoma.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major health problem. Mortality in untreated PE is high, but with adequate (anticoagulant) treatment, can be reduced. Multiple primary and secondary risk factors are responsible for PE. But there is rare association of mixed adrenal tumor with PE. Here, we report a case of adrenocortical adenoma with Cushing's syndrome coexistent with pheochromocytoma with recurrent...
متن کاملPrimary aldosteronism in a patient with an aldosterone-producing adenoma.

متن کاملRegulation of steroidogenesis in a primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease-associated adenoma leading to virilization and subclinical Cushing's syndrome.
CONTEXT Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) can lead to steroid hormone overproduction. Mutations in the cAMP protein kinase A regulatory subunit type 1A (PRKAR1A) are causative of PPNAD. Steroidogenesis in PPNAD can be modified through a local glucocorticoid feed-forward loop. OBJECTIVE Investigation of regulation of steroidogenesis in a case of PPNAD with virilization. ...
