CRYSTALLOID STRUCTURE IN ADRENOCORTICAL ADENOMA

Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1985
The presence of crystalloid structures was demonstrated in the cytoplasm of a huge adrenocortical adenoma ultrastructurally. The crystalloids were classified into four types, and they differed from those of spironolactone bodies or intramitochondrial bodies in their size and shape. The structures of the crystalloids resembled the crystalloids of Reinke

VIRILIZING ADRENOCORTICAL ADENOMA RESPONSIVE TO GONADOTROPHIN

Acta Endocrinologica, 1975
ABSTRACT A virilizing adrenocortical adenoma was demonstrated in a young female. Urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion and subfractions, plasma testosterone level and urinary 17-ketogenic steroid excretion were markedly increased. Dehydroepiandrosterone was the main constituent of the androgen excess.

The functional spectrum of adrenocortical adenomas

Medical Hypotheses, 1993
Adrenocortical adenomas (ACA) are frequently discovered at autopsy. Nowadays, modern radiologic techniques incidentally uncover the usually silent ACA during lifetime. On the basis of various reports and the results of endocrine tests, i.e. dexamethasone suppression (DST) and CRH response, we characterize 3 major types of functioning ACA.

Ultrastructural Study of Virilizing Adrenocortical Adenoma

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1973
Electron microscopic study of an adrenocortical adenoma from a 32-year-old woman with biochemical and clinical manifestations of virilization disclosed its component cells to exhibit mitochondrial and other features of reticularis cells. This identification allows for its ultrastructural distinction from lesions encountered in Cushing’s syndrome and ...

ADRENOCORTICAL ADENOMA WITH CUSHING'S SYNDROME IN CULTURE

Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1986
Two adrenocortical adenomata with Cushing's syndrome were examined employing cell culture methods. The results revealed that the clear‐type cells changed into compact‐type cells, and that the compact cells played a role in the production and secretion of steroid hormones. Furthermore, it is likely that they underwent fragmentation and produced collagen

Fine Structure of a Virilizing Adrenocortical Adenoma

Beiträge zur Pathologie, 1976
An adrenocortical adenoma associated with adrenogenital syndrome in a two-year-old boy was investigated light and electron microscopically. Urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion was considerably elevated and unresponsive to dexamethasone administration. The level returned to normal after surgical removal of the tumour.

ADRENOCORTICAL ADENOMA WITH PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM IN CULTURE

Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1986
Four adrenocortical adenomata with primary aldosteronism (Conn's adenomata) were examined by light and electron microscopy employing cell culture methods. Unstimulated cells existed as a unit of the clusters, but Conn's ademona cells reacted to ACTH. The cultured cells produced mostly cortisol under ACTH‐stimulation as time passed.

Myxoid adrenocortical adenoma with a pseudoglandular pattern

Virchows Archiv, 2004
Myxoid changes rarely occur in adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas. Only eight benign tumours with such features have been described thus far, five of which also had a prominent pseudoglandular component. We report an additional pseudoglandular myxoid adenoma of the adrenal gland detected in a 58-year-old male patient who developed mild hypertension.

Congenital hemihypertrophy with adrenocortical adenoma.

Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet, 1995
A rare case of adrenocortical adenoma in a 7-month-old female infant with congenital hemihypertrophy of left leg is described. Only 7 similar cases including the present one, are on record. The patients ranged in age from 7 weeks to 45 years. The male:female ratio was 3:4. The adrenal tumors were often detected after CH had become evident.

Intraspinal Oncocytic Adrenocortical Adenoma: Diagnosis

2012
Oncocytic adrenocortical adenomas are rare non-functioning variants of adrenal cortical adenomas. To date at least seven intraspinal tumors have been observed. The tumors are positive for Melan A, synaptophysin, focally cytokeratins 8 and 18, while S-100, chromogranin and HMB45 are negative.
