This study was to report a case of normotensive patient with primary aldosteronism who was admitted to our department recently. The patient was a 33-year-old male with right adrenal incidentaloma, but without any symptom. He has no history of hypertension, and blood pressure was normal when measured at multiple time points during hospitalization stay. The 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure promp...

Nonclassical form of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (NC 21OHD) as a frequent variant on the milder end of the disease spectrum has been widely acknowledged, but its potential contribution to adrenocortical tumorigenesis has not been fully elucidated. We report a 66-year old male case of bilateral adrenocortical incidentaloma, associated with partial 21OHD without any episodes of hypoadrenocorticism ...

Introduction. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare tumor that is benign in nature, usually asymptomatic, unilateral, and nonsecreting. It is composed of variable mixture of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements and develops within the adrenal gland. With the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging modalities such as ultrasonography and computed tomography, the incidental detection of thes...

Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland that second most common primary incidentaloma, following adrenocortical adenomas. It composed elements adipose tissue and with varying amounts hematopoietic components. In past, these tumors were discovered at autopsy, an incidence ranging from 0.08% to 0.4%. Today, widespread use radiological studies such as ultrasonography, compute...

UNLABELLED Resistant hypertension is often difficult to treat and may be associated with underlying primary aldosteronism (PA). We describe the case of an elderly gentleman who presented with severe and resistant hypertension and was found to have a left adrenal incidentaloma during evaluation but had aldosterone excess secondary to unilateral adrenal hyperplasia (UAH) of the contralateral glan...

This was an unusual case of a primary leiomyoma tumor of the adrenal gland in a 26-year-old woman incidentally found during workup for mild, dull abdominal pain.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is well known to be associated with various neoplasms and opportunistic infections. Kaposi sarcoma (KS), associated with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) infection, is the most common tumour in HIV positive patients and is also an acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining illness. Cutaneous manifestations are the most common presenting symptom; however, v...

OBJECTIVE The criterium defining the threshold size of adrenal incidentaloma (AI) is a size greater than 1 cm diameter. However, data concerning AI≤1 cm in diameter is scant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the function of adrenal masses≤1 cm and to compare them with adrenal masses>1 cm. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 130 consecutive patients with AI (38 and 92 AI at ≤ 1 cm an...
