Ganglioneuroma is a benign neoplasm derived from the neural crest that is mainly located in the mediastinal and peritoneal sympathetic ganglia and, very occasionally, in the adrenal gland. It usually occurs in children or adolescents, causes no or highly nonspecific symptoms, and is typically a non-secreting tumor. Among the neuroblastic tumors, ganglioneuroma is the most uncommon, the one with...

primary adrenal lymphoma is extremely rare. we report a case with primary bilateral adrenal lym-phoma in a young male patient. he presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. pathologic study revealed malignant lymphoma, diffuse large cell type (t- cell origin). patient recieved combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy but 22 months after diagnosis died because of progression of dis ease

Among extrahepatic tissues the adrenal gland has one of the highest concentrations of apoE mRNA and the highest rate of apoE synthesis. In the present investigation several previously described in vivo treatments were used to assess the relationship between apoE expression and cellular cholesterol in the rat adrenal gland. Treatment of rats with 4-aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (4-APP) to lower...

background: noise pollution is considered as a stressful factor in every day’s life of the industrial world. the present study was designed to investigate the probable effects of different time exposure of noise stress on histomorphometric changes of adrenal gland, plasma cortisol and body weight of the rat.   methods: sixty adult male wistar rats were divided into two series of short time nois...

Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland that second most common primary incidentaloma, following adrenocortical adenomas. It composed elements adipose tissue and with varying amounts hematopoietic components. In past, these tumors were discovered at autopsy, an incidence ranging from 0.08% to 0.4%. Today, widespread use radiological studies such as ultrasonography, compute...

Adrenal gland pseudocysts are not common conditions, and most of them are nonfunctional and asymptomatic. However, large pseudocysts may causes abdominal discomfort and have compressive effects on adjacent organs. They may rupture spontaneously or after trauma, and lead to retroperitoneal hemorrhage and surgical emergency. Herein, we report a case of 21-year-old female who presented with acute ...

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor that is composed of hematopoietic cells and mature fat. Mostly, these nonfunctioning tumors are distinguished incidentally during autopsy or radiologic investigations. Here, we report a case of 46-year-old man presented with nonspecific abdominal pain for one year, who had right adrenal mass with fat density detected by radiologic investigation. Histop...
