    Predicting postoperative hypocortisolism in patients with non-aldosterone-producing adrenocortical adenoma: a retrospective single-centre study

    In recent decades, the refinement and broader implementation of imaging techniques have led to an increased detection of adrenal incidentalomas (AIs), with current prevalence reaching about 2% in the adult population and 10% in individuals aged …

    Feminizing adrenocortical adenoma in a girl from a resource-limited setting: a case report

    An adrenocortical tumor (ACT) is a rare disease in pediatrics. The annual worldwide incidence is 0.3–0.38 per million children, with a peak incidence in those younger than 5 years [ 1 ].

    Adrenocortical adenoma with myelolipomatous metaplasia: a potential diagnostic pitfall: a case report and review of the literature

    Adrenal incidentalomas are often found during investigation for another tumor or unrelated problems. In general, most adrenal incidentalomas (70–80%) are benign adenomas that cause no symptoms. Differential diagnosis consists of pheochromocytoma …

    Pregnancy-induced Cushing’s syndrome with an adrenocortical adenoma overexpressing LH/hCG receptors: a case report

    Pregnancy-induced Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is rare, with a total of 15 cases reported in the world literature to our knowledge [ 1 – 15 ], and only two of those patients were secondary to an adrenal adenoma overexpressing luteinizing hormone …

    Adrenocortical adenoma in a Sudanese girl with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

    Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a pediatric overgrowth disorder involving a predisposition to tumor development (BWS, OMIM 130650). It has an estimated population incidence of 1 in 13,700. It results from several genetic mechanisms that lead …

    Hypercortisolism and primary aldosteronism caused by bilateral adrenocortical adenomas: a case report

    The human adult adrenal cortex is composed of the zona glomerulosa (ZG), zona fasciculata (ZF), and zona reticularis (ZR), which are responsible for production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and adrenal androgens, respectively [ 1 ].

    Does IGF-1 play a role in the etiopathogenesis of non-functioning adrenocortical adenoma?

    Adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are defined as adrenal masses greater than 1 cm that are detected during radiological investigations for non-adrenal pathologies [ 1 ]. AIs are seen frequently in 1–5% of the normal population imaged by computed …

    An ectopic adrenocortical oncocytic adenoma in the liver highly mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma: case report and literature review

    Ectopic adrenocortical tissue is a condition where adrenocortical tissue appears in places other than the adrenal glands. The ectopic tissue can also form neoplasms such as adenoma or carcinoma [ 1 ]. Embryologically, the adrenal cortex derives …

    Plasma and tissue chromogranin in patients with adrenocortical adenomas

    Adrenal adenomas frequently arise from cortical islets in the medulla, and these islets seem to present a greater risk for pathological growth than cortical cells within the adrenal cortex. Chromogranin A (CgA), a glycoprotein co-stored in …

    The natural history of incidentally discovered adrenocortical adenomas: A retrospective evaluation

    Adrenal adenoma is the most frequent lesion among adrenal incidentalomas. The present retrospective study was undertaken to investigate medium-term evolution of supposed or ascertained adrenocortical adenomas in a group of 53 subjects (16 males …

    Unilateral adrenalectomy improves insulin resistance and polycystic ovaries in a middle-aged woman with virilizing adrenocortical adenoma complicated with Cushing’s syndrome

    A benign virilizing adrenal adenoma is rare among adrenal neoplasms in middle-aged women. A 39-yr-old Japanese woman who presented with hirsutism, obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension was admitted. Plasma concentrations of testosterone and …

    Bilateral adrenocortical adenomas causing ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome at different periods: A case report and discussion of corticosteroid replacement therapy following bilateral adrenalectomy

    We report a rare case of bilateral adrenocortical adenomas causing ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome at different periods 9 yr apart. The subject, a 24-yr-old woman, in June 1989 had a typical Cushingoid appearance. Her baseline plasma cortisol …

    The computed tomography adrenal wash-out analysis properly classifies cortisol secreting adrenocortical adenomas

    Diseases consecutive to adrenal disturbances are frequent in clinical practice and abnormalities can affect the adrenal gland(s) in nearly 10% of autopsy series [ 1 , 2 ]. Incidentalomas, defined as adrenal masses greater than 1 cm in diameter …

    Ectopic adrenocortical adenoma in the renal hilum: a case report and literature review

    Ectopic adrenal rests have been reported from a variety of anatomic sites, including the celiac plexus, kidney, testis, epididymis, broad ligament, the canal of Nuck, hernial and hydrocele sacs, the mesoappendix, liver, lung, intradural space and …

    Benign hormone-secreting adenoma within a larger adrenocortical mass showing intensely increased activity on 18F-FDG PET/CT

    Adrenal adenomas usually show 18F-FDG activity less than that of the liver parenchyma. However, lipid-poor and hormone-secreting adenomas have been reported to show mild 18F-FDG avidity. We report on a 51-year-old female with clinical symptoms of …
