Molecular tools for diagnosing diseases of the adrenal cortex.

The adrenal glands produce some of the most essential for life hormones, including cortisol and other steroids, and catecholamines. The former is produced from the adrenal cortex, whereas the latter i... The advent of next generation sequencing opened doors for finding genetic diseases and signaling pathways involved in adrenocortical diseases. In addition, the combination of molecular data and clinic... Diagnosing adrenocortical diseases can be challenging; however, the progress of molecular tools for adrenocortical disease diagnosis has greatly contributed to early detection and to meliorate patient...

Risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) after adrenalectomy for adrenal cortical neoplasms.

Incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after adrenalectomy for adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is unknown. Herein, we aim to identify the relative incidence and risk factors of VTE after adrenalec... The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify patients who underwent adrenalectomy for ACC, Cushing syndrome (CS), and benign adrenal ... A total of 5896 patients were analyzed: 576 ACC, 371 CS, and 4949 BACS. Postoperative VTE occurred 0.9%, with the highest rate occurring in ACC (2.6% ACC vs. 1.6% CS vs. 0.7% BACS, p < 0.001). Forty p... Postoperative VTE after adrenalectomy occurs most frequently for ACC. ACC patients with increased age and/or Khorana score ≥2 should be considered for extended VTE prophylaxis....

A Case of Oncocytic Adrenal Cortical Neoplasm with Uncertain Malignant Potential Turned Out to Be Oncocytic Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma with Distant Metastasis: Could Pathology Do Better Initially?

Oncocytic adrenal cortical neoplasms are rare cases and are divided into oncocytoma, oncocytic neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential and oncocytic adrenal cortical carcinomas, based on the Lin-We...

Association between contralateral adrenal and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis in benign adrenocortical tumors.

Adrenal incidentaloma (AI) is commonly discovered on cross-sectional imaging. Mild autonomous cortisol secretion is the most common functional disorder detected in AI.... To delineate the association between radiological characteristics of benign adrenocortical tumors and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.... In the study, 494 patients diagnosed with benign unilateral adrenocortical tumors were included. Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) was diagnosed when cortisol after 1mg-dexamethasone suppressi... Of 494 patients, 352 (71.3%) with NFAT and 142 (28.7%) with MACS were included. Patients with MACS had a higher tumor diameter, thinner contralateral adrenal gland, and lower plasma ACTH and serum DHE... Patients with MACS had thinner contralateral adrenal glands and disturbed HPA axes compared with NFAT.
