Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign tumor of the adrenal gland. It mainly consists of mature adipose tissue and intermixed myeloid tissue. Adrenal myelolipoma are the second most common cause of adrenal incidentillomas and make up almost 10% of it. Rarely, myelolipomas are encountered outside the adrenal glands and are termed as extra adrenal myelolipomoas. ...

FIG. 2: TUMOUR COMPOSED OF MATURE ADIPOSE TISSUE AND HEMATOPOIETIC CELLS, WITH PERIPHERAL ADRENAL CORTICAL TISSUE (H & E, X200). DISCUSSION: Myelolipomas are well- circumscribed lesions that contain mature adipose tissue intermixed with hematopoietic tissue. The adrenal gland is the most common site but myelolipomas also occur rarely in extraadrenal locations such as presacral soft tissues, retroperitoneum, thorax and pelvis 3. The exact aetiopathogenesis of these tumors is still obscure. Various hypotheses proposed are bone marrow embolism, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and bone marrow metaplasia. The most plausible explanation may be that undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells within the adrenal cortex are stimulated to differentiate into myeloid and lipoid lines by some stress in the form of chronic illness, necrosis or neoplasia 4.. The reported incidence of adrenal myelolipoma varies from 0.08% to 0.2% in autopsy series 5. The male to female ratio is 1:1, and are commonly found in the ...

A few cases of CAH-associated adrenal myelolipoma have been reported previously with most of them caused by 21-OH deficiency. The second most common cause was 17-OH deficiency (11). In the current report, two patients in family 1 presented with CAH-associated giant adrenal myelolipomas secondary to 21-OH deficiency caused by a compound heterozygous mutation (c.293-13C,G/c.518T,A, p.I173N). Three patients in family 2 presented with CAH-associated adrenal myelolipomas because of 17-OH deficiency resulting from a compound heterozygous mutation (c.1118A,T, p.H373L/c.1459_1467del9, p.D487_F489del). All the four mutations have been reported to be associated with CAH, respectively (12, 13, 14, 15). However, no adrenal myelolipoma was found with single mutations. Here, we firstly described these two compound heterozygous mutations in two unrelated families and found that only these compound heterozygous mutations, but not the single mutation, in the CYP genes can result in adrenal myelolipomas.. A ...

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm composed of mature adipose tissue and a variable amount of hematopoietic elements. Most lesions are small and asymptomatic, discovered incidentally at autopsy or on imaging studies performed for other reasons.

Myelolipomas are benign tumors usually found within the adrenal gland. Approximately 50 cases of extra-adrenal myelolipomas have been reported in the literature and all are associated with additional lesions. Myelolipomas contain hematopoetic cells a

N1 - Publisher Copyright: © 2020 Cathy Zhou et al.. PY - 2020. Y1 - 2020. N2 - Adrenal collision tumors are rare and produce unique diagnostic challenges for clinicians. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with obesity and diabetes mellitus and an incidentally-discovered adrenal mass containing macroscopic fat, thought to be a myelolipoma. A functional workup confirmed adrenocorticotropic hormone-(ACTH-) independent Cushings syndrome. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic adrenalectomy with pathology showing an adrenal collision tumor consisting of an adrenocortical adenoma and a myelolipoma. Postoperatively, the clinical symptoms, body mass index, and hemoglobin A1C all improved. Clinicians should consider a functional workup in patients with radiographically diagnosed myelolipomas as some may prove to be hormonally ...

The wider application of increasingly sensitive ultrasonography and CT scanning has created a new problem for clinical management: the incidental discovery of asymptomatic adrenal lesions. These lesions, also called incidentalomas may be due to a large variety of etiologies, and although most of them prove to be benign cortical adenomas, diagnostic confirmation is frequently impossible preoperatively. For this reason, a general approach, based on the relative prevalence of benign and malignant, clinically silent adrenal masses, has been defined. This same approach is usually needed in the case of myelolipoma, a rare form of benign and silent adrenal neoplasms, containing hematopoietic and fatty elements. Actually, computed tomographic aspect of such tumors is very evocative but not pathognomonic, so it doesnt eliminate the possibility of malignant lesions, especially in the presence of heterogeneities. Because of these limitations and awaiting the development of more specific diagnostic ...

Meningioma growth has been previously described in patients receiving oestrogen/progestogen therapy. We describe the clinical, radiological, biochemical and pathologic findings in a 45-year-old woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia secondary to a defect in the 21-hydroxylase enzyme who had chronic poor adherence to glucocorticoid therapy with consequent virilisation. The patient presented with a frontal headache and marked right-sided proptosis. Laboratory findings demonstrated androgen excess with a testosterone of 18.1 nmol/L (0-1.5 nmol) and 17-Hydroxyprogesterone ,180 nmol/L (,6.5 nmol/L). CT abdomen was performed as the patient complained of rapid-onset increasing abdominal girth and revealed bilateral large adrenal myelolipomata. MRI brain revealed a large meningioma involving the right sphenoid wing with anterior displacement of the right eye and associated bony destruction. Surgical debulking of the meningioma was performed and histology demonstrated a meningioma, which stained ...

AIM To analyze patient demographics, pathology, surgical procedure and outcome in initial 24 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy in our department. METHODS Twenty four patients underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy between September 2000 and August 2005. There were 12 males and 12 females with a mean age of 44.6 years (range 25-68 years). The indications for adrenalectomy were pheochromocytoma (13 patients), Cushings syndrome (5 patients), myelolipoma (2 patients), adrenal cyst (2 patients), aldosteronoma (1 patient) and adrenal incidentaloma (1 patient). Nineteen of our patients with functioning adrenal tumours were prepared preoperatively for periods ranging up to 2 weeks by the endocrinologist. All laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed via lateral transperitoneal approach using standard four-port technique. Patients with pheochromocytoma and Cushings syndrome were monitored in the surgical intensive care unit during immediate postoperative period. The clinical and

Discussion: Adrenal cortical adenomas and carcinomas are rare tumors but with the use of high resolution imaging, such as CT and MRI, incidentally discovered adrenal masses have become a common finding. The diagnostic evaluation of incidental adrenal lesions includes imaging modalities such as CT with and without contrast, MRI and PET, hormonal evaluation, and FNA in certain clinical settings, particularly to exclude metastasis. In up to 20% of cases, these incidental lesions may cause abnormal hormone secretion without obvious clinical manifestations, while nonfunctioning incidental adrenal lesions less than 5 cm are likely to be benign. Distinguishing an adrenal cortical adenoma from carcinoma is a well-known diagnostic challenge in surgical pathology, and thus, in fine needle aspiration cytology. Proposed criteria correlating with subsequent malignant behavior include the combination of three or more of the following: high nuclear grade, greater than 5 mitoses per 50 high-power fields, ...

The gold standard approach for surgical treatment of benign and malignant adrenal lesion is considered the laparoscopic one, due to a lot of advantages compared to open approach. The rapid propagation of this surgical technique is due to the diffusion of haemostatic devices in laparoscopic adrenal surgery. The principal aim of this study is to analyze the outcome of LA using each energy modality, evaluating the eventual superiority of an instrument over the others. A retrospective study, involving 75 consecutive patients submitted to LA by transperitoneal lateral approach from January 2013 to June 2017, was performed. Age less than 70 years old, adrenal adenomas less than 8 cm in diameter, incidentalomas | 6 cm, myelolipomas | 13 cm, adrenal metastases | 7 cm and ASA score ≤ III were the main surgical inclusion criteria. All involved patients were divided into three group, one for each energy device: group 1 - Harmonic Scalpel, group 2 - Ligasure vessel sealing system and group 3 - Thunderbeat. In

ABSTRACT: We describe a case series of benign hepatic fatty tumors in 10 subsistence-harvested bowhead whales. Microscopic features included lipomatous and myelolipomatous masses. Extensive atrophy and/or destruction of hepatic parenchyma was not observed. No other significant disease was present except in an animal with unrelated chronic pleuritis. Based on our longitudinal case series (1980-2016) which identified 1-2 hepatic lipomas and myelolipomas in landed whales annually at Barrow, Alaska (USA), since 2012, hepatic lipomas and myelolipomas are occasionally seen in hunter-harvested bowhead whales. A conservative estimate for the percentage of bowhead whales with hepatic fatty tumors in landed whales in Barrow from 2012 to 2016 was 6% (7/111). The pathogenesis and exact cell origin of these benign fatty tumors in bowhead whales is undetermined. Assessment of further cases is warranted to better define the tissue distribution and pathogenesis of these tumors in bowhead whale liver. ...

Primary adrenal lymphoma is a rare entity with fewer than 120 cases reported in the worldwide literature.2-7 Prognosis is generally poor with most patients succumbing to disease within one year of diagnosis.2 The present case has been associated with an unexpectedly good prognosis and several elements deserve attention and comment. First, presentation with a huge, symptomatic, and rapidly-progressing adrenal mass should always suggest the diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma, despite the final pathologic outcome in the present case.8-10 When an adrenal tumor is suspected, abdominal ultrasound may not be the best imaging modality. Radiographic characterization of adrenal tumors can be performed with dedicated adrenal-protocol CT or MR imaging, which allow the differentiation of adenomas and myelolipomas from more concerning lesions.8-10 Second, imaging should be done in conjunction with laboratory studies to evaluate for a functional adrenal tumor, such as pheochromocytoma or adrenocortical ...

Of the 81 patients with imaging data, 19 (23%) had isolated adrenal involvement (iPAL), while 62 (77%) had additional extra-adrenal involvement (PAL+). Among patients who had both CT and PET scans, 18FDG-PET revealed extra-adrenal involvement not detected by CT scan in 9/18 cases (50%). The most common clinical manifestations were B symptoms (55%), fatigue (45%), and abdominal pain (35%). Endocrinological assessment was often inadequate. With a median follow-up of 41.6 months, 3-year progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival rates in the entire cohort were 35.5% and 39.4%, respectively. The hazard ratios of iPAL for PFS and OS were 40.1 (95% CI: 2.63-613.7, P = 0.008) and 2.69 (95% CI: 0.61-11.89, P = 0.191), respectively. PFS was much shorter in iPAL vs PAL+ (median 4 months vs not reached, P = 0.006), and OS also appeared to be shorter (median 16 months vs not reached), but the difference did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.16). Isolated PAL was more frequent in females (OR = ...

BACKGROUND: CD44 is a cell surface glycoprotein found on many normal cells, mainly lymphoid and epithelial. Normal cells usually express standard CD44 (CD44-S), whereas malignant tumours may express CD44 variant isoforms (CD44-V). CD44 expression has been described for neural crest derivatives. Characterisation of differences in CD44 expression may help in the diagnosis and differentiation of distinct adrenal tumours. AIMS: To examine CD44 expression in different layers of cortical cortex, in adrenal medulla, and in adrenal tumours. METHODS: CD44-S and CD44-V6 expression were studied in 12 cases of adrenal cortical adenoma, 3 of adrenal cortical carcinoma, 10 of pheochromocytoma, and 4 normal adrenal glands. RESULTS: CD44-V6 staining showed cytoplasmic expression in normal adrenal cortex and in cortical adenomas and carcinomas. Pheochromocytomas also showed CD44-V6 expression but in 5 of the 10 cases it was sparse, focal, and sometimes perinuclear. Strong membranous staining for CD44-S was ...

Carcinogenesis studies of short range (SR), intermediate range (IR), or intermediate range chrysotile asbestos in combination with the intestinal carcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH) were conducted with male and female Syrian golden hamsters. Both forms of chrysotile asbestos were administered at the concentration of 1% in pelleted diet for the entire lifetime of the hamsters starting with mothers of the test animals. Group sizes varied from 125 to 253. Starting at 6 weeks of age, male and female hamsters in the intermediate range chrysotile/DMH study were given oral doses of DMH (4 mg/kg) every other week for a total of 5 doses. There was no adverse effect on body weight gain or survival by either form of asbestos or by asbestos in combination with DMH.. A significant increase (P,0.05) in adrenal cortical adenomas was observed in male hamsters exposed to SR and IR chrysotile asbestos and in females treated with IR chrysotile asbestos when compared to the pooled control groups ...
