1. Ectopic Cushing syndrome in Colombia
ABSTRACT Objective The aim was to describe the clinical features of patients with ectopic Cushing syndrome (ECS) from Colombia and compare these findings with other series to provide the best management for these patients. Materials and methods Records of patients with ECS from 1986 to 2017 were retrospectively reviewed; patients with a diagnosis of adre

2. Simultaneous Quantification of Plasma Catecholamines and Metanephrines by LC-MS/MS
The quantification of the low levels of catecholamines and metanephrines in biological fluids is important for clinical screening of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and diagnosis of overtraining syndrome in athletes. We introduce a novel, accurate and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous quantification of

3. Challenging risk factors for right and left laparoscopic adrenalectomy: A single centre experience with 272 cases
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to compare perioperative and postoperative results of right and left laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA), and to evaluate the impact of challenging factors on these outcomes. Materials and Methods A total of 272 patient’s medical records that underwent single side LA between October 2006 and September 2017 were retrospecti

4. Outcome and long-term follow-up of adrenal lesions in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1
ABSTRACT Objective To describe the prevalence, clinical characteristics and outcome of adrenal lesions in long-term follow-up of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) patients. Subjects and methods We retrospectively studied sixteen patients from six families of individuals with MEN1. Adrenal involvement was evaluated using clinical, biochemical and

5. Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma: implications of germline mutation investigation for treatment, screening, and surveillance
ABSTRACT Objective Paraganglioma (PGL) and pheochromocytoma (PCC) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that were considered to be predominantly sporadic. However, with the identification of novel susceptibility genes over the last decade, it is currently estimated that up to 40% of cases can occur in the context of a hereditary syndrome. We aimed to characterize

6. 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

7. Laparoscopic approach to pheochromocytoma in pregnancy: case report
ABSTRACT A 32-year-old 22-week pregnant hypertensive woman with sporadic episodes of headaches, sweating, and facial flushing was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma through biochemical and imaging tests. Perioperative management included a multidisciplinary approach, symptom stabilization with α blockade followed by β blockade, and tumor resection by laparosc

8. What determines mortality in malignant pheochromocytoma? – Report of a case with eighteen-year survival and review of the literature
SUMMARY Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a tumor derived from adrenomedullary chromaffin cells. Prognosis of malignant PCC is generally poor due to local recurrence or metastasis. We aim to report a case of malignant PCC with 18-year survival and discuss which factors may be related to mortality and long-term survival in malignant pheochromocytoma. The patient, a 4

9. Long-term Results after CT-Guided Percutaneous Ethanol Ablation for the Treatment of Hyperfunctioning Adrenal Disorders
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of computed tomography-guided percutaneous ethanol ablation for benign primary and secondary hyperfunctioning adrenal disorders. METHOD: We retrospectively evaluated the long-term results of nine patients treated with computed tomography-guided percutaneous ethanol ablation: eight subjects who prese

10. Antitumor potential of the myotoxin BthTX-I from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom: evaluation of cell cycle alterations and death mechanisms induced in tumor cell lines
Abstract Background Phospholipases A 2 (PLA 2 s) are abundant components of snake venoms that have been extensively studied due to their pharmacological and pathophysiological effects on living organisms. This study aimed to assess the antitumor potential of BthTX-I, a basic myotoxic PLA 2isolated from Bothrops jararacussu venom, by evaluating in vitro pro

11. Simultaneous Determination of Catecholamines and Metanephrines in Urine by Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry: Successful Clinical Application
Determination of urinary catecholamines and metanephrines is important for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been developed for the determination of catecholamines and metanephrines in human urine using deuterated internal standards (IS). In this method, 1000 µL of urine samples were treat

12. Robot assisted laparoscopic excision of a paraganglioma: new therapeutic approach
The Paraganglioma is the most common extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma arising from neural crest (1) (It will better to write: The paraganglioma is an extra-adrenal pheocromocytoma arising from the neural crest. 10% of pheocromocytomas are extra-adrenal and can arise form chromaffin tissue derived from primitive neuroectoderm). Minimally invasive techniques all
