1. Cushing’s syndrome due to ectopic adrenocorticotropin secretion by a parotid carcinoma
SUMMARY We report a rare case of Cushing’s syndrome in a 37-year-old female who initially presented with localized acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland. In January 2014, she underwent a right parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation and adjuvant radiotherapy. In August 2018, she presented a histologically-proven local regional relapse. The patien

2. Padronização das técnicas de PNA e PCR em tempo real para detecção das mutações ativadoras no GNAS na síndrome de McCune-Albright / Standardization of the PNA and real time techniques for the detection of activating mutations in the GNAS in McCune-Albright syndrome
The McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a genetic disease, with incidence estimated at 1/100.000 and 1/1000000 cases per year. MAS is clinically characterized by the triad: bone fibrous dysplasia (FD) café-au-lait skin spots and endocrine hyperfunction, such as: precocious puberty (PP), Cushing s syndrome, hyperthyroidism and acromegaly. The diagnosis of MAS

3. Study of mRNA expression of the receptors for vasopressin (AVPR1B), corticotropin releasing hormone (CRHR1) and GH secretagogues (GHSR-1a) in patients with ACTH-dependent Cushings syndrome: clinical-molecular correlation / Estudo da expressão do receptor da vasopressina (AVPR1B), do receptor do hormônio liberador de corticotrofina (CRHR1) e do receptor dos secretagogos de GH (GHSR-1a) em pacientes portadores de síndrome de Cushing ACTH-dependente: correlação clínico-molecular
INTRODUCTION: The differential diagnosis of ACTH-dependent Cushings syndrome (CS) is one of the major challenges in endocrinology, especially in view of the similar clinical and laboratorial behavior between some carcinoid tumors and Cushings disease (CD). Hence, dynamic tests of ACTH and cortisol release have been carried out with the aim to identify predic

4. Adrenocortical tumors in children
Childhood adrenocortical tumors (ACT) are rare. In the USA, only about 25 new cases occur each year. In Southern Brazil, however, approximately 10 times that many cases are diagnosed each year. Most cases occur in the contiguous states of São Paulo and Paraná. The cause of this higher rate has not been identified. Familial genetic predisposition to cancer

5. Salivary cortisol as a tool for physiological studies and diagnostic strategies
Salivary cortisol is an index of plasma free cortisol and is obtained by a noninvasive procedure. We have been using salivary cortisol as a tool for physiological and diagnostic studies, among them the emergence of circadian rhythm in preterm and term infants. The salivary cortisol circadian rhythm in term and premature infants was established between 8 and

6. Cushing's syndrome associated with recurrent endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the ovary.
Ectopic production of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) by malignant neoplasms is a well recognised cause of Cushing's syndrome but is extremely rare in ovarian carcinoma. A patient who underwent surgery for ovarian carcinoma followed by a course of chemotherapy is reported. The tumour was a bilateral moderately differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma a

8. Diagnostic Accuracy of Chromogranin A and Calcitonin Precursors Measurements for the Discrimination of Ectopic ACTH Secretion from Cushing’s Disease
Context: Inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) best discriminates between the two causes of ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome, Cushing’s disease (CD) and ectopic ACTH secretion (EAS). However, when sampling is not available, adjunctive diagnostic tests might be helpful. Neuroendocrine tumors may secrete chromogranin A (CgA), calcitonin (CT), procalcito

10. Micronodular adrenal disease: a light and electron microscopic study.
A case of Cushing's syndrome due to micronodular adrenal disease in a 17-year-old girl is presented. The adrenals showed both black and yellow nodules. Histologically the cells contained lipofuschin and either had a clear cytoplasm or an eosinophilic cytoplasm with a prominent nucleus. Lymphocytes were a prominent feature. No cells of the zona reticularis we

11. Carney complex, a familial multiple neoplasia and lentiginosis syndrome. Analysis of 11 kindreds and linkage to the short arm of chromosome 2.
Carney complex is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by multiple neoplasias, including myxomas at various sites and endocrine tumors, and lentiginosis. The genetic defect(s) responsible for the complex remain(s) unknown. We studied 101 subjects, including 51 affected members, from 11 North American kindreds with Carney complex. Blood samples were c

12. Stimulation of preadipocyte differentiation by steroid through targeting of an HDAC1 complex
Glucocorticoids potentiate the early steps of preadipocyte differentiation and promote obesity in Cushing’s syndrome and during prolonged steroid therapy. We show that glucocorticoids stimulate 3T3 L1 preadipocyte differentiation through a non-transcriptional mechanism mediated through the ligand-binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor. This enhance
