Castleman’s disease is a rare disorder characterized by benign proliferation of lymphoid tissue. Most cases occur as a mediastinal mass, although extrathoracic involvement including nodal and extranodal locations has been reported. The left suprarenal location of this localized disease may be mistaken for an adrenal tumor. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with a Castleman’s tumor located...

A 45-year-old female developed hypertension and hypokalemia. Elevated plasma aldosterone and suppressed plasma renin levels were measured with no evidence for glucocorticoid or androgen abnormalities. A left adrenal tumor was removed that showed histologic criteria for malignancy. It is commonly taught that malignant adrenal tumors are recognized by their multiple hormone production. However, i...

OBJECTIVE Clinical findings do not reflect the excess hormonal status in adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) in children. Identification of abnormal hormone secretion may help provide the tumor marker and delineate those patients with a risk of adrenal suppression following tumor removal. To analyze the impact of complete hormonal assessment regardless of the clinical presentation in hormone-secreting...

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) disseminates to a number of organ sites and few patients demonstrate long-term survival following surgery. However, synchronous metastasis of RCC to the contralateral adrenal gland and pancreas is rare. In the present report, a case of synchronous RCC metastasis to the contralateral adrenal gland and pancreas in a 55-year-old patient, with an 116×92×61 mm r...

Primary adrenal melanoma (PAM) is a rare malignant tumor, with few reported cases in the published literature and often correlated high mortality rates. This condition usually has an unclear clinical presentation must have its differential diagnosis regarding metastatic processes from pigmented pheochromocytoma. In this article, we report case of 49-year-old male diagnosed PAM, alongside progre...

A 50-year-old Omani woman presented to the Outpatient Clinic, Royal Hospital, Oman with right upper abdominal pain and backache that had lasted 10 days. She had no palpitation, sweating, or hypertension (blood pressure 122/78mmHg). The patient's history revealed that she had a similar incidence of abdominal pain two months prior, which was a "dull ache" in nature and somewhat associated with he...

Pheochromocytoma is a tumor arising from neuroectodermal chromaffin tissues in the adrenal gland or extra-adrenal paraganglia (paragangliomas). The prevalence of the tumor is 0.1%-0.6% in the hypertensive population, of which 10%-20% are malignant. Pheochromocytoma produces, stores, and secretes catecholamines, as well as leads to hypertensive crisis, arrhythmia, angina, and acute myocardial in...

We report on a 23-year-old woman with a right adrenal tumor 13 cm in diameter who was treated by laparoscopy. The patient was asymptomatic, and the tumor was incidentally diagnosed on abdominal ultrasonography. A subsequent computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen confirmed a 12 x 7 x 8-cm homogenous mass of the right adrenal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a solid mass measuring 13 x 7...

Primary adrenal mesenchymal tumors are extremely rare. These tumors are hard to diagnose, and similar to certain adrenal tumors, as they do not produce hormones, and they can only manifest themselves when the tumor reaches an advanced size. These tumors are generally detected incidentally. This study reports a rare case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the right adrenal gland with vena cava invasio...

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is a rare type of extrahepatic adenocarcinoma, with morphological characteristics identical to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HAC is difficult to accurately diagnose because of its clinical similarity to HCC. The diagnosis is always achieved by pathological examination after the surgery. This case report describes a sixty-year-old male patient who was referred to ...
