We report a case history of an 84-year-old elderly male patient that presented with a clinical picture suggestive of adrenal failure and bilateral adrenal nodules detected by abdominal computed tomography. A fine needle-guided biopsy was inconclusive for achieving a final diagnosis. The patient died due to septic shock and the autopsy disclosed histoplasmosis with extensive bilateral necrosis o...

taneous rupture of adrenal tumor, such as pheochromocytoma, adrenal cortical carcinoma and adrenal myelolipoma. To the best of our knowledge, there has been only one case of adrenal metastatic tumor that caused spontaneous rupture (1). Because most extrahepatic hepatocellular carcinomas occur in patients with an advanced intrahepatic tumor stage, the first manifestation as spontaneous rupture o...

Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rarely seen benign tumor originating from neural crest cells and consisting of ganglion Schwann cells. Adrenal GNs occur most frequently in the fourth fifth decades life. They have an equal frequency male female patients are usually found incidentally during imaging. It not related to hormonal activity clinically asymptomatic. We aimed present 49-year-old patient whose ...

We present a clinical observation of patient whose cause death was new coronavirus infection COVID-19 complicated by bilateral viral interstitial pneumonia and adult acute respiratory distress syndrome. The presence background diseases-rheumatoid arthritis secondary AA-adrenal amyloidosis-worsened the prognosis. Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome with hemorrhage foci necrosis in adrenal cortex de...

OBJECTIVE Despite widespread abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), the endocrine effects of supraphysiologic doses of these compounds remain unclear. We administered the AAS methyltestosterone (MT) to 20 normal volunteers in an in-patient setting, examined its effects on levels of pituitary-gonadal, -thyroid, and -adrenal hormones, and examined potential relationships between endocrine c...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of adrenal insufficiency in infants with hemangiomas following treatment with systemic glucocorticoids (GCs). DESIGN Prospective study for 18 months. SETTING Hemangioma and vascular malformation center at a tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS Sixteen infants with hemangiomas had an adrenal axis evaluation as soon as possible following the comp...

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the dihydropyridine-sensitive L-type Ca2+ channel is operative in adrenal catecholamine (CA) secretion induced by a novel neuropeptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), in anesthetized dogs. Plasma CA concentrations in adrenal venous and aortic blood were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography met...

Lymphoma may occasionally involve the adrenal glands, but primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is very rare and only few cases have been reported. We present a case of a 60-year-old, otherwise healthy, woman, with bilateral PAL presenting with adrenal insufficiency. The patient responded initially upon administration of large doses of intravenously hydrocortisone with total remission of symptoms. An ...
