Primary teratomas arising from adrenal glands are exceedingly uncommon. They are more common in childhood and rarely occur in adults. We report an unusual case of a giant mature cystic teratoma (Dermoid cyst) arising from a right adrenal gland in 29 years old female. The patient complained of right flank pain for six months. A plain and enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed a huge tumor...

Although the adrenal cortex and medulla arise from different embryological tissues, they are intimately associated in the developing embryo. The adrenal cortex arises from splanchnic mesenchyma, while the medulla arises from nervous tissue.' The chromaffin cells migrate by way of the celiac plexus to penetrate the adrenal cortex as scattered islands which later aggregate to form the adrenal med...

A 30-year-old male was referred for the rapid development of gynecomastia, and dramatic hyperestrogenemia was assessed: plasma estrone, estradiol but also cortisol were not suppressed by high-dose dexamethasone, while gonadotropin pulsatility was completely abolished. A 60-mm right adrenal tumor was evidenced on computed tomography-scan, and the patient underwent adrenalectomy. The tumor was fo...

Abstract Childhood neuroblastoma has a remarkable variability in outcome. Age at diagnosis is one of the most important prognostic factors, with children less than 1 year old having favorable outcomes. Here we study single-cell and single-nuclei transcriptomes different clinical risk groups stages, including healthy adrenal gland. We compare tumor cell populations embryonic mouse sympatho-adren...

Adrenal ganglioneuroma is a benign tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, composed gangliocytes and mature neural stroma. The asymptomatic in majority cases mostly accidentally detected diagnostic imaging due to health check. When large, it causes symptom such as abdominal pain or discomfort. We report case adrenal incidentally 25-year-old male patient. physical examination laboratory tests w...

We describe a case of aldosterone-producing adrenocortical adenoma (APA) associated with a probable post-operative adrenal crisis possibly due to subtle autonomous cortisol secretion. The patient was a 46-year-old female who suffered from severe hypertension and hypokalemia. CT and MRI scans revealed a 2-cm diameter adrenal mass. The patient's plasma aldosterone level was increased, and her pla...

OBJECTIVE We report a case of left adrenal schwannoma in a 62-year-old man, incidentally discovered on an abdominal computed tomography. It was successfully treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy. METHODS On admission, no remarkable findings were recognized in the patient's blood and urine examination, including adrenal function. Laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was performed with the diagnos...

BACKGROUND Metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be found in the lung and adrenal gland. We report case of a patient who presented with adrenal metastasis as the first clinical manifestation of HCC. CASE PRESENTATION A patient was referred for surgical treatment for a tumor in retro-peritoneal space. The computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass originating from the left ...
