1. Adrenal tumor. (A) Abdominal computed tomography showed a large mass with smooth margin, 6.0 cm in diameter, in the left adrenal gland. No sweling of the lymph nodes around the tumor was observed. (B) An adenoma measuring 7.5×6.0×5.5 cm and weighing 122 g with a smooth surface was removed. Its cut surface was golden yelow. (C) HE stain ×20. The adenoma was encapsulated. The adjacent normal a...

BACKGROUND Ectopic (accessory) adrenocortical tissue, also known as adrenal rests, is a developmental abnormality of the adrenal gland. The most common ectopic site is in close proximity to the adrenal glands and along the path of descent or migration of the gonads because of the close spatial relationship between the adrenocortical primordium and gonadal blastema during embryogenesis. Ectopic ...

BACKGROUND We present an intrarenal adrenocortical adenoma discovered incidentally after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and total adrenalectomy for a suspicious renal mass. Current literature describes the rare occurrence of an adrenocortical adenoma arising from a renal-adrenal fusion. This case represents an uncommon, benign pathology that should be considered in the differential diagnosi...

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 ...

Several authors have reported that metoclopramide (MCP), a dopaminergic antagonist, stimulates aldosterone secretion and that dopamine (DA) inhibits the MCP-mediated aldosterone secretion in man. However, many controversial results have been reported relating to the direct effect of MCP and DA on the secretion of aldosterone by adrenocortical cells in in vitro experiments. The present studies w...

Three dogs were evaluated due to the presence of unilateral adrenal gland masses with or without clinical signs. Case 1 showed a unilateral non-functional adrenocortical adenoma, discovered accidentally while Case 2 presented a unilateral cortisol-secreting adrenocortical adenoma; a pheochromocytoma was accidentally discovered in Case 3. The adrenalectomy was the treatment of choice in all case...

Free acid· fluorescent corticosteroids (11-0HCS) in plasma of patients with adrenocortical disorder was studied by the m ethod of De Moor. Differences in diurnal variations of 11-0HCS value were observed between healthy per s ons, pa tients with adenoma, and patients w ith hyperplasia of adr enals. Intravenous infus ion of cort icot ropin was efficient for the estimation of the adrenocortical f...

Endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) is caused by excess adrenal glucocorticoid secretion that is adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-dependent or independent; ACTH-independent adrenocortical causes of CS account for up to 20% of CS in adults, and 15% in children over age 7 years. In younger children, ACTH-independent CS may account for as many as half of the CS cases. In both adults and children, adrenocor...
