Aldosterone-Producing Adrenocortical Carcinoma without Hypertension
Although adrenocortical tumors are common, adrenocortical carcinomas are rare. Moreover, aldosterone-producing adrenocortical carcinomas without hypertension are exceedingly rare, with only two previously reported cases.
متن کاملBilateral Adrenocortical Masses Producing Aldosterone and Cortisol Independently
A 31-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with symptoms of hypertension and bilateral adrenocortical masses with no feature of Cushing syndrome. The serum aldosterone/renin ratio was elevated and the saline loading test showed no suppression of the plasma aldosterone level, consistent with a diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism. Overnight and low-dose dexamethasone suppression tests s...
متن کاملAdrenocortical carcinoma secreting cortisol, androgens and aldosterone: a case report
INTRODUCTION Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis and presents with mass effects and less often with signs of hormone excess (approximately 60% of all adrenocortical carcinoma's). Hormonally active adrenocortical carcinomas most commonly secrete cortisol while the co-secretion of multiple steroid hormones is rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 59 yea...
متن کاملPCB126 induces differential changes in androgen, cortisol, and aldosterone biosynthesis in human adrenocortical H295R cells.
Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been shown to accumulate in the adrenal glands when incorporated into the body. However, the impacts of exposure on adrenal steroidogenesis have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we demonstrated that dioxin-like PCB126 altered androgen, cortisol, and aldosterone biosynthesis differentially in human adrenocortical H295R cells. PCB1...
متن کاملAldosterone-, corticosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a dog: case report.
A 12-year-old, intact female beagle exhibited symptoms of polyuria-polydipsia and hyperorexia for two months. Blood tests showed elevated asparate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and creatine kinase levels, as well as marked hypokalemia. The results of adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test showed elevated cortisol, aldosterone and corticosterone concentra...
