Rare Association Between Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Axial slice CT abdomen pelvis with portal venous contrast, revealing a well circumscribed 22 × 20 × 22 mm left adrenocortical adenocarcinoma (ACC) in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). ABSTRACT Although rare, adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) should be considered in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) presenting with adrenal ...

The extensive use and progress in the improvement of imaging techniques brings about the growing incidence of incidentalomas, i.e. adrenal lesions accidentally revealed during the imaging of the abdominal cavity which was originally focused on the visualisation of organs other than adrenal glands.

ABSTRACT Hypertension is common in autosomal‐dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) but may occasionally reflect a secondary etiology. We report a 71‐year‐old man with ADPKD and end‐stage renal disease who developed persistent, refractory hypertension following renal transplantation despite multidrug therapy and bilateral native nephrectomy ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Adrenal incidentalomas (AI) are commonly found on imaging done for indications other than to assess the adrenal glands. Prevalence increases with age and is around 10% in people over 80 years. The majority of AIs are benign adenomas, with 20%−50% exhibiting mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).

ABSTRACT Objective Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk factors including hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia. By using evening doses of metyrapone, a short‐acting 11‐β hydroxylase inhibitor, it has been shown that it is possible to reset the abnormal circadian cortisol rhythm in MACS ...

Several studies argued that cardiovascular evaluation of patients with nonfunctioning adrenal incidentaloma is of particular importance. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the possibility of stratifying the cardiometabolic risk using metanephrine levels in ...

ABSTRACT Objective Successful adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is traditionally assessed using the ratio of cortisol in adrenal to peripheral venous plasma to calculate the selectivity index. With mass spectrometry other steroids can be simultaneously measured that may improve numbers of apparent successful sampling procedures.

Functioning ganglioneuroma of the adrenal gland - case report and review of literature
A ganglioneuroma of adrenal gland in a 34-year-old female presenting as adrenal incidentaloma is described. The significance of this finding is discussed, and litera-ture in English is reviewed to highlight the importance of hormonal evaluation of an ...

Adrenal Incidentaloma: Challenges in Diagnosing Adrenal Myelolipoma
Adrenal myelolipomas (AMLs) are rare benign adrenal tumors, containing adipose and hematopoietic tissue, a result of reticuloendothelial cell metaplasia. Incidence on autopsy has been reported from 0.08% to 0.4%.
