Abstract

Leiomyosarcomas of adrenal origin occur infrequently, always present as huge abdominal masses, and are associated with poor prognoses when other organs are invaded. Radiologic images of small adrenal leiomyosarcomas have not been published. This report presents magnetic resonance images of a 3-cm left adrenal leiomyosarcoma from a 49-year-old male. Ten months after adrenalectomy, the patient was alive without tumor recurrence.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
