Background and objectives Adrenal tumors with/out tumor thrombus (TT) in the inferior vena cava (IVC) pose a challenge to the surgeon due to the potential of massive hemorrhage and tumor thromboembolism. We report our experience in managing different types of adrenal tumors. Methods From 11/...
The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of leptin receptor isoforms in adrenal tumors. In a single-center study, 96 patients (19 with adrenal cortical carcinoma and 77 with benign tumors) underwent an adrenalectomy. A total of 14 unaffected adrenal gland ...
Acquired PPP may originate from exposure to either exogenous or excess endogenous sex steroids from, for example, sex steroid-secreting tumors in the gonads (e.g., testicular Leydig cell tumors [25]) ovarian granulosa cell tumors [24], or adrenal tumors (e.g., adrenocortical tumors [26])....
Adenomasare benign tumors starting in the epithelial tissue of a gland or gland-like structure. The epithelial tissue is the thin layer of tissue covering organs, glands, and other structures. A common type of adenoma is a polyp in thecolon. Adenomas might also grow in theliveror the adrena...
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and 2 (MEN1 and MEN2).These rare, genetic conditions are passed down through families. They cause tumors of the parathyroid, adrenal, and thyroid glands, leading to overproduction of hormones. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).The overproduction of androgens inter...
Caffeine dependence is detrimental to your thyroid and adrenal glands. Caffeine blocks the absorption of thyroid hormone, so you should minimize caffeine consumption as much as possible if you have hypothyroidism. Excess sugar consumption wreaks havoc on the body. In addition to causing a slew of ...
While testosterone is usually regarded as the "male sex hormone," it's also part of the female hormonal makeup. In females, testosterone is produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands. Most of it is then converted to estradiol with the help of an enzyme called aromatase.17 Dehydroepiandroste...
Hormonal causes: In males,hypogonadism(low testosterone) can affect sexual desire, arousal, clarity of thinking, mood, erectile function, and bone density. In females, hormone fluctuations during themenstrual cycle,pregnancy, and menopause can do the same.20Thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal diseases al...

The relative adrenal insufficiency occurs due to inactivation of glucocorticoid receptors.•The use of glucocorticoids is controversial because they inhibit the immune system. That is a desirable effect when the inflammatory response i...
