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 ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Distinguishing adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) from adenoma is often difficult, particularly in hormonally active tumors with borderline histologic features. Case Presentation A 55‐year‐old woman presented with abdominal distension and central obesity. Hormonal evaluation confirmed ACTH‐independent Cushing's syndrome.

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).

Elastographic Evaluation of the Adrenal Glands of Dogs With Hypercortisolism
ABSTRACT Elastography is a promising technique for assessing tissue stiffness in the adrenal glands of dogs with hypercortisolism (HC). This study compared 30 dogs, 15 of which were healthy (control group) and 15 diagnosed with HC, confirmed by low‐dose dexamethasone suppression test (n = 11) or ACTH stimulation test (n = 4) without prior treatment ...

A case of bilateral non-functioning adrenocortical adenomas.
腰痛・上腹部痛・食欲不振を訴え,高血圧・糖尿病・肥満を合併する50才女性の腹部CT scanにて,偶然両側副腎に腫瘤を認めた.内分泌学的検索にて副腎機能に異常を認めず,両側性内分泌非活性副腎皮質腺腫と診断した.合併する胆石症の手術時に腺腫を摘出し,組織学的にも上記診断を確認した.内分泌学的検索の施行された内分泌非活性副腎皮質腺腫の報告は少なく,本症例が本邦第20例目であり,両側性の報告としては第1例目である.本症例はCT scanの発達・普及により報告が増加しつつあるincidentaloma(偶然発見された腫瘤)の1例であり,主に副腎皮質癌との鑑別が重要であるが,小さいものでは原則として摘除せず,内科的に経過を観察する.
