The basic function of the adrenal glands is to protect the organism against acute and chronic stress, a concept popularized as the fight-or-flight response for the medulla and as the alarm reaction for the cortex. The steroid hormones of the cortex and the catecholamines of the medulla probably developed as protection against immediate stress or injury

Perineurioma of the Adrenal Gland
Ultrastructural Pathology, 2009The authors report the first case of perineurioma of the adrenal gland. The tumor was composed of elongated wavy spindle cells focally arranged in a fascicular pattern. It was positive for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and claudin-1, and was negative for S-100 protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).

The anatomy, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of adrenal glands are presented in this chapter. The nuclear techniques describe the radiotracers used in the diagnosis of both cortex and medulla of the adrenal glands. Because anatomical imaging studies are nonspecific and may not be sensitive for the presence of extra-adrenal foci, bilaterally tumors or ...

The adrenal glands are paired retroperitoneal organs lying superomedial to each kidney. Each adrenal gland consists of an outer cortex and an embryologically, histologically and functionally distinct medulla. The cortex is derived from the posterior coelomic mesoderm (the urogenital ridge).

Cytomegaly of the Adrenal Gland
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1955Cytomegaly, a unique and interesting morphologic change seen in the involutional human adrenal gland, was probably first introduced into the English medical literature by Kampmeier, in 1927. It has been further described by Craig and Landing, Potter, and Morrison.

Pathology International, 1999
A rare case of a lipoma of the adrenal gland is reported with a review of the literature. The tumor was incidentally found at autopsy in a 50‐year‐old man who died from severe head trauma after a traffic injury. At autopsy, an oval‐shaped, soft yellow nodule measuring 1.1 cm in diameter was found in the right adrenal cortex.

Since 1915, Dr. J. M. Rogoff has collaborated with me in all the work on the adrenal glands. It has been a joint research, and even when I speak in the first person singular I include him. Further, the investigation, although extending over a long time, was planned as one continuous piece of work on the two glands constituting the adrenal bodies. As it

The adrenal gland in pregnancy
The Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1956(1) The physiology of the adrenal gland is briefly outlined, with special reference to pregnancy. (2) The clinical picture of acute adrenal insufficiency in pregnancy is described. (3) The hypothesis is put forward that fatalities from eclampsia, previously attributed to cardiac failure, are, in fact, due to adrenal ...

Publisher Summary The adrenal glands are complex polyfunctional organs situated above the kidneys, whose secretions are required for maintenance of life. Structurally, they are comprised of an outer region or cortex and an inner region or medulla.

The steroids secreted by the adrenal cortex are principally glucocorticoid (cortisol), mineralocorticoid (aldosterone) and sex steroids (dehydroepian- drosterone, androstenedione, oestradiol and testosterone) (Fig. 2.1). The adrenal cortex is divided into three zones, with glucocorticoids and sex steroids being secreted by the zona reticularis and zona
