abstract adrenal gland cysts are rare indications of adrenal diseases, which are commonly asymptomatic. in radiological studies, these cysts, known as incidentalomas, are often detected by coincidence accounting for 6% of the population. adrenal incidentalomas are commonly detected, and autonomous cortisol hypersecretion is the most prevalent abnormality associated with these masses. since this...

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin composed mature fatty tissue and bone marrow elements. It non-functioning tumor, usually asymptomatic commonly detected incidentally during evaluation for unrelated symptoms; hence, it referred to as an “incidentaloma”. Large myelolipomas can cause mass effects vague abdominal pain, spontaneous tumor rupture with massive hemorr...

Adrenal rest tumor in liver is a very rare tumor. It originates from an adrenal rest, which is derived from the aberrant adrenocortical tissue. Adrenal rest tumor is an ectopic collection of adrenocortical cells in extra-adrenal sites. This tumor may be hormonally active and manifest endocrine syndromes. But, most tumors are non-functioning and benign. Histologically, hepatic adrenal rest tumor...

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon malignancy originating from cortex of adrenal gland. The most common pitfall in diagnosis of ACC is to distinguish it from pheochromocytoma. Here we report a 62-year-old hypertensive man with presentation of dyspnea. The laboratory data showed an increase in urine cortisol and renin with a mild increase in aldosterone, but decrease in adrenocorticot...

Adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) are extremely rare in infants. Pediatric ACTs are therapeutic and diagnostic challenge because histological criteria for distinguishing benign from malignant tumors seen in adults are not always reliable in children .The aim of this report was to present clinical features, hormonal profile, and histopathological characteristics of an infant with Adrenal tumors. A...
