Precerebellin (Cbln)-related peptides are known to modulate the secretory activity and growth of the adrenal gland. However, precise expression of the Cbln-related genes and Cbln1 peptide in the adrenal remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated, using RT-PCR, QPCR, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry and hormonal assays, their expression in the adrenals of adult rats and in the course of p...

One reference to the transplantation of an adrenal cortical tumor of the mouse has been found in the literature. Dalton, Edwards, and Andervont (1) reported on a spontaneous, transplantable, adrenal cortical tumor in a female strain C mouse 24 89 months of age. They presented evidence that this neoplasm originated from relatively undifferentiated cells of the adrenal cortex. The failure to find...

Veterinarians are often presented with complex adrenal neoplasia cases that have significant intraoperative challenges, which require the skills of an experienced surgeon. Perioperative evaluation and treatment of these patients can be equally challenging, and successful outcomes require a thorough understanding of the tumor types that affect the adrenal glands, as well as an understanding of a...

BACKGROUND Fine-needle aspiration biopsy to identify adrenal metastasis from an occult primary malignancy has been recommended as part of the evaluation of the patient who presents with an incidentally discovered adrenal mass. This recommendation was assessed by examining the frequency of adrenal involvement in patients with suspected unknown primary cancer. METHODS Data from 1715 patients re...

abstract   background: isolated adrenal hemorrhage is an uncommon condition and its diagnosis is usually made during autopsy. adrenal hemorrhage (ah) is one of the very rare complications of trauma in adults. ah is associated with meningococcal septicemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (water house–friderichsen syndrome). hypotension, tumors, complications of pregnancy, surgical str...

It was reported recently that the endogenous digitalis-like factor ouabain may mainly originate from the adrenal gland. To ascertain the pathophysiological significance of endogenous ouabain and to examine if it originates in the adrenal gland, we determined plasma immunoreactive ouabain levels in patients with various cardiovascular and endocrine diseases. Plasma immunoreactive ouabain levels ...

adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is a relatively rare, slow growing lung neoplasm. metastases outside the lung are uncommon. herein, we have reported the case of a patient who presented with a large mass in the right lower lobe of her lung. bronchial biopsy revealed features suggestive of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung with a predominant cribriform architecture. ct abdomen showed feat...

Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rarely seen benign tumor originating from neural crest cells and consisting of ganglion Schwann cells. Adrenal GNs occur most frequently in the fourth fifth decades life. They have an equal frequency male female patients are usually found incidentally during imaging. It not related to hormonal activity clinically asymptomatic. We aimed present 49-year-old patient whose ...

Survival of all living organisms depends on maintenance of a steady state of homeostasis, which process relies on its ability to react and adapt to various physical and emotional threats. The defense against stress is executed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic-adrenal medullary system. Adrenal gland is a major effector organ of stress system. During stress, adrenal ...

Pheochromocytomas are a rare cause of arterial hypertension, necessitating surgical resection. Coexistence of a pheochromocytoma with an ipsilateral adenoma in the right adrenal gland has sporadically been reported. No reports on their videoscopic resection by the posterior retroperitoneal approach are available. We describe a case of a 49-year old female patient with a pheochromocytoma of the ...
