Coexistence of the Hypersecretion of Catecholamine, Adrenal Cortical Nodular Hyperplasia, and Nephrotic-Range Proteinuria of Focal Segmental Scleronephrosis: Is It Fat-Induced Hypertension?
Two patients had a long history of hypertension and one of them also had a nephrotic-range proteinuria secondary to focal segmental scleronephrosis which had been diagnosed by kidney biopsy. They presented with uncontrolled hypertension. Laboratory examination suggested hypersecretion of catecholamines by the left adrenal glands in both patients and primary aldosteronism in one of them. A compu...
متن کاملCase report: schwannoma arising from the unilateral adrenal area with bilateral hyperaldosteronism
BACKGROUND We report a rare case of a juxta-adrenal schwannoma that could not be discriminated from an adrenal tumor before surgical resection and was complicated by bilateral hyperaldosteronism. To the best of our knowledge, this is first case in which both a juxta-adrenal schwannoma and hyperaldosteronism co-existed. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year-old male treated for hypertension was found to...
متن کاملPrimary adrenal microcystic/reticular schwannoma: clinicopathological and immunohistochemical studies of an extremely rare case.
A case of primary adrenal microcystic/reticular schwannoma affecting the right adrenal gland in a 31-year-old female was reported. Histologically, the tumor significantly consisted of strikingly anastomosing strands of spindle cells imparting a microcystic and reticular pattern with a focal transition to epithelioid nests. Immunohistochemically, S-100 and CD56 protein showed a uniform and stron...
متن کاملAdrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Hyperaldosteronism
Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is used to distinguish unilateral from bilateral aldosterone hypersecretion as a cause of primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA). This distinction is critical because unilateral disease is treated, and often cured, by adrenalectomy, whereas bilateral hypersecretion should be managed medically. In this article, we review the epidemiology and etiologies of PHA, present scr...
متن کاملLimited significance of iodomethylnorcholesterol uptake in adrenal visualization.
To the Editor: I read with interest the case of primary aldosteronism (PA) presented by Chen et al. The clinical course, resolution of hypokalemia and hypertension by right adrenalectomy, and the pathological finding, a cortical microadenoma in the resected adrenal gland, support their diagnosis of aldosterone-producing adenoma of the right adrenal gland. However, I would like to comment about ...
