We report a rare case of solitary paraganglioma arising from the small bowel mesentery, found in 70-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain. Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine, neural crest-derived tumors, most commonly adrenal medulla. While extra-adrenal paragangliomas arise diverse locations, mesenteric origins extremely rare. Our comprehensive review shows 35 previously documented ...

Adrenal yetmezlik olguları, hayatı tehdit eden şok ile karakterize adrenal kriz tablosu karşımıza çıkabileceği gibi özgün olmayan belirtilerle de başvurabilir. Hastaların, mortalite ve morbiditesi yüksek olan öncesinde tanınıp tedavi edilmesi hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu makale Hashimoto tiroditi nedeniyle izlemde iken aşırı kilo kaybı, halsizlik, cilt renginde koyulaşma bulguları gelişen Addison ...

Adrenal cyst initially described in 1670s, is being diagnosed more frequently with the advent of widespread use diagnostic imaging. Most these cysts are small and remain nonfunctional requirement only conservative approach. Functional, malignant or benign lesions than 5cm size needs surgical intervention. Giant adrenal (>10cm) do pose a clinical dilemma present symptoms as was scenario case ...

AIMS To investigate the immunohisto-chemical staining of normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic adrenal cortex with a monoclonal antibody against alpha inhibin. Also, to determine whether immunostaining with this antibody is useful in differentiating between adrenal cortical neoplasms and other tumours involving the adrenal gland that might mimic them. METHODS Normal adrenal tissue (n = 20) and...

lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (lipoid cah), a rare disorder of steroid biosynthesis, is the most severe form of cah. in this disorder the synthesis of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and sex steroids is impaired which result in adrenal failure, severe salt wasting crisis and hyperpigmentation in phenotypical female infants irrespective of genetic sex. in this report, we presented a ...

the presence of tumor thrombus in the right atrium is frequently the result of direct intraluminal extension of infra-diaphragmatic malignancy into the inferior vena cava (ivc) or supradiaphragmatic carcinoma into the superior vena cava (svc). right atrial tumor thrombus with extension into both svc and ivc has not been reported in the literature. we present a patient who presented with symptom...

Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign neoplasm composed of an admixture of hemopoietic elements and mature adipose tissue. The incidence of adrenal myelolipoma is reported as between 4% and 5% of adrenal incidentaloma. The association of an adrenal myelolipoma and adrenal nodular hyperplasia or adrenal adenoma is rare. Four cases of adrenal myelolipomas in the material of 702 incidentally discovered ...

Adrenal tumors are very rare. These lesions called adrenal incidentalomas because they incidentally detected through imaging procedure. Its prevalence ranges from 1.4% to 2.9% worldwide. Clinical suspicion, laboratory testing, Imaging and histopathological examination needed for definite diagnosis. We report three cases of received at our institute between the year 2021 2022. Pheochromocytoma g...

Primary adrenal insufficiency is caused by loss of function of the adrenal gland itself, for example due to autoimmune-mediated destruction of adrenocortical tissue or surgical removal of the adrenal glands or due to inborn disruption of adrenal cortisol production in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused if the regulation of adrenal cortisol production by th...
