Since Hutchison's now classical paper " On Suprarenal Carcinoma in Children with Metastases in the Skull" appeared in 1907, the syndrome, which now bears his name, has frequently been observed and recorded. The salient features are the development of malaise and some degree of pallor in a previously healthy child, followed by left-sided proptosis, due to metastases in the orbit, together with s...

The study was made on morphometric parameters of human fetal suprarenal gland. The present study was carried out in the department of Anatomy, Government Medical College & Hospital, Chandigarh. The material for the study consisted of 30 spontaneously aborted human fetal specimens from 12th to 28th weeks of gestational ages. The suprarenal glands and kidney were taken from fetal specimens for mo...

Background: Adrenal hematoma is a very rare acquired cause of neonatal hypertension. In this study, we report a case of neonatal hypertension associated with adrenal hematoma. A male neonate was immediately transferred to our neonatal intensive care unit after delivery due to meconium aspiration. He needed to be on mechanical ventilation support. During his hospital stay, hospital records showe...

Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly, commonly of monozygotic twin, in which one fetus grows inside another fetus. It is a parasitic twin, usually presents as an abdominal mass. Most common site is retro peritoneum but it can present anywhere. It should be differentiated from teratoma which has no axial arrangement and has got definite malignant potential. Different imaging modalities can...

I t is well known that hypertrophic changes occur in the interstitial cells of the ovary, and in the suprarenal cortex, in certain animals during pregnancy. Likewise, investigators are in general agreement that removal of the gonads causes hypertrophy of the suprarenal cortex. With these facts in mind, it occurred to us that conversely suprarenal injury might produce changes in the sex glands. ...

Castleman’s disease is a rare disorder characterized by benign proliferation of lymphoid tissue. Most cases occur as a mediastinal mass, although extrathoracic involvement including nodal and extranodal locations has been reported. The left suprarenal location of this localized disease may be mistaken for an adrenal tumor. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with a Castleman’s tumor located...

Introduction. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare tumor that is benign in nature, usually asymptomatic, unilateral, and nonsecreting. It is composed of variable mixture of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements and develops within the adrenal gland. With the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging modalities such as ultrasonography and computed tomography, the incidental detection of thes...

A 2-year-old girl presented with fever, hepatomegaly, and progressively increasing proptosis of the right eye for 1 month. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a well-defined multi-lobulated predominantly hyperechoic mass lesion of 10.9x2.5x6.1 cm with a few foci of coarse calcification and small cystic areas arising from the right suprarenal region. The lesion was inferiorly compressing the renal par...

INTRODUCTION Extramedullary hematopoiesis in the kidney and adrenal are rarely reported in medical literature and are usually found as incidentaloma. It usually occurs in patients with hematologic disorder such as thalassemia. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 23-year-old Iranian man with beta thalassemia who was admitted with a suprarenal mass. Adrenal mass was detected by ultrasonography ...
