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 ...

Adenomatoid tumors are neoplasms of mesothelial origin, usually occurring in the male and female genital tracts. Extragenital localization sites such as adrenal glands are rare but have been reported. When found in the adrenals, they represent great clinical, radiological and pathological diagnostic challenge, with wide range of differential diagnoses to be considered. We present a case of a 30...

PURPOSE To determine whether performing adrenalectomy at the time of nephrectomy for unilateral Wilms tumor impacts clinical outcome. METHODS We reviewed information on all patients enrolled on National Wilms Tumor Study-4 and -5. Data were abstracted on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical and pathologic status of the adrenal gland, and patient outcomes. The primary endpoint...

Advanced imaging often reveals adrenal tumors and tumor-like conditions in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. When adrenal disease is clinically suspected, cross-sectional imaging can be helpful in evaluating the etiology of the patient's symptoms. When adrenal disease is incidentally identified, what the clinician and patient really want to know is whether the findings are benign or m...

The effects of Sarcoma 180, heterologous tissue implantation, and daily injections of turpentine upon adrenal and liver nucleic acids were investigated. Progressive tumor growth caused an initial elevation in adrenal ribonucleic acid (RNA) which was followed by a return to control levels. Adrenal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) con centration was increased during most of the period of tumor growth....

Abstract Objectives Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most common tumor during perinatal period. The clinical features NB occurring in fetuses and neonates differ from that older age groups. Frequently, Congenital neuroblastomas are incidentally detected prenatally. Clinical presentations NBs highy variable. Case presentation A 24-day old preterm 32 weeks’ gestation male neonate developed choles...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease, which leads to cortisol and aldosterone deficiency and hyperandrogenism. Typical medical treatment includes oral glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid administration to suppress adrenal androgens and to compensate for adrenal steroid deficiencies. However, some patients stopped taking medi...

Advances in imaging have improved early detection of primary and metastatic adrenal tumors. The laparoscopic approach, the gold standard for benign adrenal diseases, is controversial for malignant adrenal tumors. A prospective randomized study of the role of laparoscopic surgery in adrenal cancer is not feasible because of the rarity of the disease. A review of the literature demonstrates the s...
