The purpose of this paper was to study the value of 18-FDG PET/CT and reassess the value of CT for the characterization of indeterminate adrenal masses. 66 patients with 67 indeterminate adrenal masses were included in our study. CT/MRI images and 18F-FDG PET/CT data were evaluated blindly for tumor morphology, enhancement features, apparent diffusion coefficient values, maximum standardized up...

Cyclic-AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is the main effector of cAMP signaling in all tissues. Inactivating mutations of the PRKAR1A gene, coding for the type 1A regulatory subunit of PKA, are responsible for Carney complex and primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD). PRKAR1A inactivation and PKA dysregulation have been implicated in various types of adrenocortical pat...

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, but highly aggressive type of tumor with an incidence of one to two per million annually. Adrenocortical carcinosarcoma is an exceptional variant of ACC, which is characterized by the presence of histological regions of carcinoma and sarcoma. To date, to the best of our knowledge, there have only been 12 reported cases of adrenocortical carcinosarcoma. ...

Pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis. Here we analyze 37 adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) by whole genome, whole exome and/or transcriptome sequencing. Most cases (91%) show loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 11p, with uniform selection against the maternal chromosome. IGF2 on chromosome 11p is overexpressed in 100% of the tumors. TP53 mutations and ch...

Adenylate cyclase responses to pituitary hormones including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), biogenetic amines, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), angiotensin II, and glucagon were evaluated in adrenocortical tumors and hyperplastic adrenal tissues, obtained from patients with Cushing's syndrome at surgery, and in normal adrenals. The adenylate cyclase of two normal adrenals was activated only by ACTH...

Evidence for the expression of the canonic androgen receptor (AR) in human adrenal cortex has not been provided so far. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the expression of the AR gene in normal and neoplastic adrenocortical human tissues and in the human adrenocortical cancer cell line, NCI-H295, and then to evaluate the effect of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on human adrenocortical ...

Endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) is caused by excess adrenal glucocorticoid secretion that is adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-dependent or independent; ACTH-independent adrenocortical causes of CS account for up to 20% of CS in adults, and 15% in children over age 7 years. In younger children, ACTH-independent CS may account for as many as half of the CS cases. In both adults and children, adrenocor...

adrenocortical carcinoma (acc) is a rare tumor and usually a fatal disease which can develop at any age in either sex. differential diagnosis between malignant and benign adrenal mass is not easy which leads to significant clinical challenge for optimal treatment. here we report a 22-year-old woman diagnosed with primary hyper aldostronism initially but disease relapsed during six months and ma...
