1. Primary malignant tumors of the adrenal glands
Malignancy must be considered in the management of adrenal lesions, including those incidentally identified on imaging studies. Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare tumors with an estimated annual incidence of 0.7-2 cases per year and a worldwide prevalence of 4-12 cases per million/year. However, a much higher incidence of these tumors (>15 times) has

2. Análise do número de cópias dos genes IGFIR, SF1 e FGFR4 em tumores adrenocorticais de crianças e adultos / Analysis of copy number variations of IGF1R, SF1 and FGFR4 genes in adrenocortical tumors from children and adults
Introduction: A high incidence of adrenocortical tumors in children and adults has been observed in Southern and Southeastern regions of Brazil. Overexpression of IGF1R, SF1 and FGFR4 genes have been described in adrenocortical tumors. Despite of overexpression be a common event in several neoplasias, the molecular mechanism implicated in this upregulation r

3. Bilateral afrenal nodules due to histoplasmosis in an elderly
We report a case history of an 84-year-old elderly male patient that presented with a clinical picture suggestive of adrenal failure and bilateral adrenal nodules detected by abdominal computed tomography. A fine needle-guided biopsy was inconclusive for achieving a final diagnosis. The patient died due to septic shock and the autopsy disclosed histoplasmosi

4. Comprometimento Adrenal na Paracoccidioidomicose: Estudo Clínico, Laboratorial e por Tomografia Computadorizada / Commitment adrenal in Paracoccidioidomycosis: Clinical study, laboratory and by computed tomographic
Paracoccidioidomicose, micose sistêmica endêmica no Brasil, particularmente na sua forma crônica do adulto, é causa freqüente de comprometimento das glândulas adrenais, podendo levar à insuficiência adrenal crônica primária (doença de Addison). O objetivo deste trabalho foi reavaliar os pacientes com diagnóstico de paracoccidiodomicose e diagnós

5. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach in adrenal masses clinically silent: review of the literature / "Diagnóstico e tratamento das massas adrenais clinicamente silenciosas: revisão de literatura"
Introduction: Clinically silent adrenal masses, incidentally diagnosed during imaging methods performed for other clinical conditions (incidentalomas) have been more frequently detected due to the constant improvement in imaging methods. There are several causes, diagnoses and treatments for these masses. Thus, whenever a physician comes across such lesi

6. Adrenomyeloneuropathy as a cause of primary adrenal insufficiency and spastic paraparesis
ADRENOMYELONEUROPATHY IS A VARIENT OF ADRENOLEUKODYSTROPHY, both of which are rare inherited disorders of peroxisomes characterized by the accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids in plasma, the central and peripheral nervous systems, adrenal glands and testes, which leads to dysfunction of these organs and systems. In this article, we describe an illustr

7. Trisomy 15 mosaicism in an IVF fetus.
Prenatal diagnosis of an IVF pregnancy in a woman aged 41 years showed a fetus mosaic for trisomy 15. The fetus had dysmorphic features, hypoplastic adrenal glands, and an accessory spleen. Both IVF and advanced maternal age would seem to increase the risk of trisomy 15.

8. Recurrent ventricular arrhythmias complicating myocardial infarction in the presence of phaeochromocytoma.
After an acute myocardial infarction a 49 year old man developed late recurrent severe ventricular arrhythmias coincident with transient hypertensive episodes. A phaeochromocytoma was diagnosed on the basis of the urinary concentration of catecholamines and computerised tomography of the adrenal glands. After stabilisation of his cardiac rhythm and blood pre

9. CD44 expression in normal adrenal tissue and adrenal tumours.
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 t
