Cytomegaloviral Adrenalitis and Adrenal Insufficiency in AIDS

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1990
In a review of 74 autopsy cases of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was found in 50% (37 cases). Of these 37 cases the adrenal glands were affected by CMV in 84%. The authors analyzed the histologic features of 30 of these 37 cases of CMV adrenalitis by grading the CMV inclusions, inflammation

STUDIES WITH AN ADRENAL INHIBITOR IN ADRENAL CARCINOMA*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1960
ABSTRACT The production of steroids in a case of widely disseminated adrenal carcinoma was studied with SU-4885. There was a striking decrease of both C19- and C21-11-oxygenated steroids in the urine with a concomitant increase in the corresponding 11-deoxy derivatives.

Adrenal insufficiency after adrenal hemorrhage

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2004
Acute adrenal hemorrhage (AAH) is an extremely rare disorder, especially in adults, and may be difficult to diagnose because of its nonspecific presentation. We report a case of AAH following a sepsis, resulting in persistant adrenal insufficiency contrasting with the radiologic normalisation of the adrenals on computed tomography (CT) scan imaging.

Adrenal Autoimmunity and Correlation with Adrenal Dysfunction

The Endocrinologist, 2000
Primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) affects approximately 1 in 8500 persons in the general population. In the western countries, 70-75% of cases of Addison's disease are caused by autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. The presence of adrenal cortex autoantibodies (ACA), as detected by indirect immunofluorescence, is a good marker ...

Adrenal Arteriovenous Malformation Masquerading as an Adrenal Adenoma

Acta Endocrinologica (Bucharest), 2023
Arteriovenous malformations of adrenal gland are extremely rare. We report a case of an adrenal arteriovenous malformation, mimicking an adrenal tumor in preoperative imaging. A 48-year-old woman presented to our clinic with abdominal pain. A 9x7 cm right adrenal tumor was detected. Based on the imaging findings, adrenal adenoma was suspected. However,

The pathogenesis of adrenal and extra adrenal hyperandrogenism

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1993
The data reviewed in this paper suggest that a factor other than ACTH which is suppressible by treatment with glucocorticoid, plays an essential role in the regulation of adrenal androgen production. Adrenal androgen biosynthesis probably takes place exclusively in specific androgen-secreting cells.

Adrenal hyperandrogenism: detection by adrenal scintigraphy

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 1978
Hyperandrogenism is a common endocrinopathy in women. Localization of the source of excess androgen production is mandatory for proper management. Ovarian hyperandrogenism has been implicated in the majority of patients studied, though the true prevalence of adrenal hyperandrogenism is not yet known.

Overview of adrenal imaging/adrenal CT

Urologic radiology, 1989
CT is the imaging procedure of choice for the detection of most suspected adrenal masses. But except for some patients with acute adrenal hemorrhage or fat-containing myelolipoma, the precise histologic nature of an adrenal mass is not apparent from the CT image.

Adrenal Physiology

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1997
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).

Adrenal Histoplasmosis

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2018
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.
