Aggressive course of ectopic ACTH syndrome due to adrenal medulla hyperplasia. Case report
Терапевтический архивThe article presents a description of a clinical case of an ectopic focus of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hypersecretion located in the adrenal medulla in a 64-year-old obese woman without other characteristic clinical signs of hypercorticism, with

Transient hypercortisolism and symptomatic hyperthyroidism associated to primary hyperparathyroidism in an elderly patient: case report and literature review. [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is often found on routine blood tests, at a relatively asymptomatic stage. However many studies suggest different systemic effects related to PHPT, which could be enhanced by an abnormal cortisol release due

Control of pituitary adenoma cell proliferation by somatostatin analogs, dopamine agonists and novel chimeric compounds [PDF]
, 2007 The antisecretory effects of somatostatin (SRIH) and its analogs are widely recognized and provide the basis for treatment of hormonal hypersecretion in patients with pituitary adenomas, especially in the settings of acromegaly.

Expression of p53 protein in pituitary adenomas
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002 Inactivating mutations of TP53, a tumor suppressor gene, are associated with abnormal cell proliferation. Although p53 expression is common in many human malignancies, p53 protein has seldom been evaluated in pituitary tumors.
