The adrenal glands contain elements of three distinct functional units: (1) the medulla, which secretes catecholamines; (2) the zona glomerulosa, which is responsible for mineralocorticoids (aldosterone); and (3) the zonae fasiculata and reticularis, which are the sources of glucocorticoids (cortisol).

Clinical Radiology, 2012
Adenoma, myelolipoma, phaeochromocytoma, metastases, adrenocortical carcinoma, neuroblastoma, and lymphoma account for the majority of adrenal neoplasms that are encountered in clinical practice. A variety of imaging methods are available for evaluating adrenal lesions including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ...

Abstract An 89-year-old woman presented with seizure and hyponatremia. CT and MRI demonstrated mass-like enlargement of the adrenal glands and multiple pulmonary nodules. PET/CT performed to evaluate for metastatic disease demonstrated intense 18F-FDG uptake within enlarged adrenal glands.

The most frequent cause nowadays is autoimmune adrenalitis, which can be confirmed by the presence of 21-hydroxylase-antibodies (Oelkers 1996). When suspected on clinical grounds, adrenal insufficiency has to be confirmed by inappropriately low serum cortisol with elevated adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) (in case of primary adrenal insufficiency). A morning

Urologic Clinics of North America, 1985
The problems inherent in visualizing the adrenal glands are illustrated by the variety of imaging modalities that have been employed. Although urography has been the basic screening examination, one can make a sound argument for CT as the procedure of choice in the evaluation of the patient with suspected adrenal pathology. Angiography, venous sampling,

Der Pathologe, 2016
Inflammation of the adrenal glands is caused by autoimmunopathies or infections and can induce adrenal insufficiency. Autoimmune lymphocytic adrenalitis is often combined with other autoimmune diseases and the most frequent cause of Addison's disease; however, it only becomes clinically apparent when more than 90 % of the adrenal cortex has been ...

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2023
The adrenal glands drive physiologic homeostasis, with dysregulation in any direction causing multisystem dysfunction. Adrenal excess states include hyperaldosteronism which manifests with refractory hypertension and electrolyte abnormalities including hypernatremia and hypokalemia.

Current Opinion in Oncology, 2002
The term adrenal incidentaloma refers to an adrenal mass occasionally and unexpectedly discovered by an abdominal imaging procedure performed for reasons a priori unrelated to adrenal dysfunction. The prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas as discovered by computed tomographic scan examination is estimated to be between 1% and 4%.

A 20-year-old man was referred after having been discovered a left adrenal incidentaloma. Characteristics on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested the diagnosis of adrenal ganglioneuroma or carcinoma. Pathological examination after adrenalectomy concluded it was an adrenal ganglioneuroma. We studied the characteristics of adrenal ganglioneuroma.We

Adrenal incidentalomas are incidentally discovered adrenal masses greater than 1 cm in diameter that appear to be clinically nonfunctioning. They are detected during imaging procedures of the abdomen and chest (CT, MRI, and ultrasonography) for an unrelated condition or symptom complex.
