Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare malignant tumor that is characterized by a malignant plasma cell neoplasm. Such neoplasms in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, the present study describes the first case of a solitary adrenal EMP in a patient with HIV. A 35-year-old male who had been diagnosed with HIV 3 months previ...

INTRODUCTION A primary hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland is still an exceptional localization. The adrenal gland is an uncommon site even in Morocco, where echinococcal disease is endemic. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 64-year-old Moroccan man who presented with the unusual symptom of arterial hypertension associated with left flank pain.

BACKGROUND Fetal adrenal gland size is known to have a positive correlation with both gestational age and estimated body weight. In contrast, some clinical observations suggest that maturation of the adrenal stress response occurs after 30 weeks of gestation. In this study, adrenal gland size at birth in extremely preterm to term neonates was investigated using ultrasonography to evaluate the a...

this paper is a statistical and analytical review of endocrine glands disorders, seen in the department of pathology, tehran university medical school, and is based on approximately 40,000 surgical specimens and 2,500 autopsy cases. of 42,500 combined routine surgical and autopsy cases reviewed, we had 2,556 cases of endocrine disorders of which there: thyroid 1,125 cases, ovary 970, testis 268...

Adrenal disease can refer to changes to the adrenal cortex and/or to the adrenal medulla. The most common form of adrenal medulla pathology is a pheochromocytoma. These rare tumors are usually much larger than tumors of the adrenal cortex and can remain unnoticed for a long time. Although cases have been reported where pheochromocytomas have been diagnosed based on histologic characteristics of...

BACKGROUND Adenomas of the adrenal gland are rare causes of virilization in childhood. CASE REPORT A girl aged 2 years and 4 months presented with pubarche, distinct clitoral hypertrophy, tall stature, and increased height velocity. Plasma testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone were elevated. Androgens remained unchanged after adrenocorticotropic hormone, and dexamethasone administrations. U...

BACKGROUND Hypertensive crisis (i.e., systolic blood pressure over 300 mmHg) is very rare during operation except pheochromocytoma, but it can be a fatal and embarrassing to surgeons and anesthesiologists. The right adrenal gland can be electrocauterized during a right hemi-hepatectomy. We report a case of hypertensive crisis during right hemi-hepatectomy in which the right adrenal gland was st...

conclusion with thorough technical knowledge and an adequate learning curve, pra could serve as the surgeon’s preferred surgical approach to the adrenal gland within the confines of its selection criteria. background since the early 1990s, endoscopic adrenalectomy has become the gold standard surgical approach for the adrenal gland. also, lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy (lta) which is the...
