Pituicytoma Associated with Serum Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Elevation
Background: Pituicytoma is a rare benign tumor of the neurohypophysis or hypophyseal stalk. Endocrinological abnormalities derived from this tumor are even rarer. Although three cases of pituicytoma with elevated plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) have been reported previously, the etiological mechanisms remain unknown. Case Description: We present a 47-year-old woman who was referred to...
متن کاملIsolated Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (acth) Deficiency Associated with Hashimoto's Disease
Isolated ACTH deficiency (IAD) is a rare disease which is characterized by secondary adrenal insufficiency with low cortisol production and normal secretion of pituitary hormones other than ACTH. Isolated ACTH deficiency has rare association with Hashimoto’s disease which is characterized by autoimmune origin. This suggests the possibility of common autoimmune process affecting both the pituita...
متن کاملPathologies Associated with Serum IgG4 Elevation
Statement of Purpose. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is usually associated to an increase of serum IgG4 levels. However other conditions have also been associated to high serum IgG4 levels. Methods. All IgG subclasses analyses performed in our hospital over a one-year period were analyzed. When IgG4 level were over 1.35 g/L, the patient's clinical observation was analyzed and both final diagnos...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic action of antidiuretic hormone.
By means of direct arterial perfusion of the adrenal glands of the hypophysectomized dog, it has been shown that synthetic lysine, arginine and acetyl arginine vasopressins stimulate the adrenal cortex directly to secrete hydrocortisone. Pressor activity and cortisol-stimulating activity were demonstrated to be independent of each other. Similar polypeptides, such as oxytocin, insulin, glucagon...
