Post-Mortem Immunohistochemical Evidence of β2-Adrenergic Receptor Expression in the Adrenal Gland [PDF]
The evidence from post-mortem biochemical studies conducted on cortisol and catecholamines suggest that analysis of the adrenal gland could provide useful information about its role in human pathophysiology and the stress response.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) Is More Potent Than IGF-I in Stimulating Cortisol Secretion from Cultured Bovine Adrenocortical Cells: Interaction with the IGF-I Receptor and IGF-Binding Proteins [PDF]
Although the stimulating effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on adrenal steroidogenesis has been well established, the role of IGF-II in the adult adrenal gland remains unknown.

A 22-year old female was referred to our hospital for CT-evaluation of the abdomen. Her medical history revealed a congenital lumbosacral spina bifida with meningomyelocele, which was surgically closed at the age of 22 months. She had a neurogenic bladder with hydronephrosis of the right kidney and recurrent upper urinary tract infections.

A big encapsulated adrenal mass with well-circumscribed margin
We present a case on adrenal schwannomas. The CT shows enhancement of distal adrenal gland lesion. We named it rabbit tail sign. Adrenal schwannomas are rare and presents a very small proportion of retroperitoneal schwannomas. It tends to be misdiagnosed
