Adrenal Cortex Tumors and Hyperplasias
The adrenal cortex tumors include both malignant adrenal cortex cancers (ACC) and benign masses (ACT) that can be either secreting, of one of the hormones normally produced in the adrenal cortex (Cushing’s syndrome if the hypersecretion is of cortisol or Conn’s syndrome if it is aldosterone) or non-secretory (Incidentalomas). The outer part of the adrenal glands, the adrenal cortex, is responsi...
متن کاملRadionuclide therapy of adrenal tumors.
Adrenal tumors arising from chromaffin cells will often accumulate radiolabeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and thus are amenable to therapy with I-131 MIBG. More recently, therapy studies have targeted the somatostatin receptors using Lu-177 or Y-90 radiolabeled somatostatin analogs. Because pheochromocytoma (PHEO)/paraganglioma (PGL) and neuroblastoma (NB), which often arise from the adren...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Adrenalectomy for Adrenal Tumors
Objective. To evaluate the indication and the clinical value of laparoscopic adrenalectomy of different types of adrenal tumor. Methods. From 2009 to 2014, a total of 110 patients were diagnosed with adrenal benign tumor by CT scan and we performed laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The laparoscopic approach has been the procedure of choice for surgery of benign adrenal tumors, and the upper limit of ...
متن کاملTesticular Adrenal Rest Tumors in Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia refers to a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by a deficiency of an enzyme involved in the synthesis of glucocorticoids. The enzyme deficiency generally leads to a deficiency of cortisol and/or aldosterone production within the adrenal cortex. The lack of glucocorticoids generally leads to elevated levels of plasma corticotropin (ACTH), which often res...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Surgery for Malignant Adrenal Tumors
Advances in imaging have improved early detection of primary and metastatic adrenal tumors. The laparoscopic approach, the gold standard for benign adrenal diseases, is controversial for malignant adrenal tumors. A prospective randomized study of the role of laparoscopic surgery in adrenal cancer is not feasible because of the rarity of the disease. A review of the literature demonstrates the s...
