Adrenal Gland Diseases
Abstract
A 5.5-y-old spayed female ferret (Mustela putorius furo) with a history of adrenal disease, respiratory disease, and chronic obesity was evaluated for progressive lethargy and ataxia, diminished appetite, and possible polyuria and polydipsia. Physical examination revealed obesity, le...

Abstract
We report a 54-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and severe hyponatremia a few days after a left lower lobectomy for lung cancer. An abdominal computed tomography scan without contrast showed a bilateral adrenal hemorrhagic infarction, mainly on the right side. Serum sodium level was 11...

Abstract
EUS-guided FNA of the adrenal glands is a minimally invasive and safe approach that documents or excludes malignant involvement. EUS-guided FNA should be the first next test to evaluate enlarged adrenal glands because it directs therapy and affects patient management.

Abstract
A total of 43 LA were performed to 41 patients using a transperitoneal lateral approach. Indications for adrenalectomy included hyperaldosteronism (19), non-functioning adenoma (8), phaeochromocytoma (6), Cushing's syndrome (6), metastasis (3) and adrenal primary tumour (1). Median postoperative hos...

Abstract
Laparoscopy is considered to be the gold standard for benign adrenal conditions. When the malignant mass is a single metastasis from a primary tumor, the laparoscopic approach appears to be reliable. When the malignant lesion is a primary adrenal tumor, laparoscopic management is more controversial,...

Abstract
B-, H- and L-catepsine-like activity regarding Na-benzoyl-D,L-arginine-4-nitroanilide, L-leucine-4-nitroanilide and azocasein was studied in the blood plasma of patients with different diseases of thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands. It has been shown that the high H- catepsine-like activity con...

Abstract
The incidental discovery of adrenal masses during modern diagnostic imaging is a common occurrence. These masses form part of a long differential diagnostic list; most often, they are benign adrenal adenomas, but their discovery requires a clinical evaluation that is sufficiently broad to exclude cl...

Abstract
We observed the decrease of plasma androgens in both groups, which did not differ significantly. Significant increase of SHBG (i.e. decrease of free androgens) was, however, documented in each period with COC administration. Not surprisingly, improvement of the most frequent clinical symptom of NCAH...

Abstract
The adrenal gland may be affected by several pathologies, and the detection of an adrenal nodule may occur during the work-up of a biological abnormality, oncologic work-up, or be incidental. Endocrinological and imaging work-up is required in all cases. Cross-sectional imaging has had a great impac...

The standard procedure for adrenal tumors is total adrenalectomy. In order to preserve adrenocortical function, partial adrenalectomy has become an accepted and proven option in bilateral hereditary pheochromocytomas. For this at least one third of one gland has to be maintained. In unilateral adren...
