13. 89% hyperplasia of adrenal contical and medullary are bilateral. Clinically the disease is manifested in hypercatecholaminemia. Whether or not there is a hypercortisonism depends on the type of cortical hyperplasia. In diffuse hyperplasia, symptoms usually occur while in nodular hyperplasia, ther...
Genetic disorders, more likely to be diagnosed in children, are represented by congenital adrenal hyperplasia (72%), autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, adrenoleukodystrophy, and congenital adrenal hypoplasia [17]. Unusual causes of PAI are metastatic adrenal diseases, lymphomas, infiltrative ...
The microscopic finding of micronodules and a cluster of abnormal medullary cells identical with those found in pheochromocytomas in one of the apparently normal adrenals represents a first stage in the development of diffuse medullary hyperplasia as well as nodular hyperplasia. This is in accordance...
Adrenal medullary hyperplasiaIn recent years, familial pheochromocytoma (PHEO) with germline mutations in the MAX (MYC associated factor X) gene has been reported in a few cases. Here, we investigated a 25-year-old patient with multiple PHEOs associated with a non-sense germline MAX mutation. ...
Bilateral adrenal myelolipoma is rare in clinics and patients with disorders of sex development (DSDs). One case was reported in our center. A 45-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital after discovering a left abdominal mass for more than a year and worsening abdominal...
Response to metyrapone strongly suggested adrenal hyperplasia producing Cushing's syndrome. After bilateral adrenalectomy, histologic examination of the adrenal glands revealed complete destruction of the medullae with calcium replacing the tissue. The calcific process also involved the cortex but the ...
describing a case of asymptomatic bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma incidentally discovered during a CT scan, in a patient carrying a germline V804M RET mutation. A multicentric medullary thyroid carcinoma (MCT) was also identified in the index case, while four relatives carrying the same mutation ...
Introduction: MEN 2A is an autosomal dominant hereditary syndrome considered part of the medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) syndromes. This is characterized by MTC, pheochromocytoma, and parathyroid hyperplasia or adenomas causing primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Clinical Case: A 34 year old female ...
1. 1. Essential hypertension is directly related to hyperplasia of the medullary tissue of the adrenal glands. 2. 2. In a series of 6 cases of essential hypertension, a total of twelve operations of subtotal adrenalectomy proved remarkably successful in benefiting the condition of the patient....
