A 20-year-old female with recent weight . Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) has an incidence of less than 2 per million population. APA has been diagnosed with imaging techniques and unilateral AH has been considered a rare form of PA [ 16, 17 ].The biochemical cure rate of APA has been shown to increase to up to 100% with the use of adrenal vein sampling (AVS). Pathology Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of seven autosomal recessive disorders of congenital cortisol synthesis involving a deficiency of one of the following enzymes 8: 21-alpha-hydroxylase ~90-95% of cases 5,8 mutation in the CYP21A2 gene 10 11-beta-hydroxylase 17-alpha-hydroxylase 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 Biochemically it is presented as hyperaldosteronism or as Cushing's. Cushing syndrome results from chronic exposure to excess cortisol. Size :5 3 1 cm and weighs 4 -6 gm each. In patients with adrenal hyperplasia, primary aldosteronism is medically treated to block the effect of aldosterone. Background and aims The most common causes of hyperaldosteronism (HA) are bilateral idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA), aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA), and unilateral primary adrenal hyperplasia (PAH). If uptake on one side vs. the other is greater . AVS can be performed with or without adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation [ 2, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18 ]. Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia. @article{Mansoor2002UnilateralAH, title={Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia causing primary aldosteronism: limitations of I-131 norcholesterol scanning. Adrenal hyperplasia refers to non-malignant growth (enlargement) of the adrenal glands and is a rare cause of ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome , with unilateral adrenal cortical adenomas being the commonest. adrenal gland are 2-5 cm long and 6-10 mm thick.2 The normal adult adrenal glands are difcult to visu- alise with ultrasound. Conn syndrome is caused by an aldosterone-producing adenoma in 35% of . Approximately 15% of adrenal incidentalomas occur bilaterally [].Whereas most unilateral masses are benign or nonfunctional, the bilateral adrenal mass is more likely metastatic disease, hemorrhage, infiltrative disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, macronodular Cushing's syndrome, or bilateral cortical adenomas [].Bilateral pheochromocytomas are also possible, especially . PURPOSE: To describe the imaging findings in the adrenal glands of 12 patients with adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-independent macronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia (AIMAH). Nodular adrenal hyperplasia is usually bilateral and has only a few case reports of unilateral presentation. Primary hyperaldosteronism is typically classified into 2 main subtypes: aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA), usually considered a unilateral benign isolated adrenocortical tumor; and idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia (IAH), usually considered a bilateral disease, and they were claimed to account for more than 95% of all cases. Hyperaldosteronism due to a unilateral adenoma must be distinguished from hyperaldosteronism due to bilateral hyperplasia to enable the proper choice between surgical treatment (for adenoma) or medical treatment (for hyperplasia). Bilateral adrenal involvement was evident at imaging in 10 patients (11% in APA versus 35% in UAH, P = NS). (A) Classical findings of bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia. Unilateral adrenal adenomas or carcinomas can explain most adrenal CS. Histopathological examination was done after laparoscopic adrenalectomy showed nodular adrenocortical . When imaging the renal fossae, kidneys should be differentiated from the adrenal glands. Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia is a rare cause of primary hyperaldosteronism (around a 3%) that has surgical treatment. 3 While there are associated hereditary syndromes, the majority of ACCs are sporadic. Unilateral nodular hyperplasia is an existent pathology affecting our patients with hyperaldosteronism and Cushing syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in the adrenal glands were reviewed retrospectively in 12 patients (three men, nine women) with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome . The nodules consisted of transparent cells and eosinophils. . This study sought to assess the prevalence and the results of surgery in unilateral adrenal hyperplasia (UAH). 10.1148/radiology.184.3.1509049 Abstract Hyperaldosteronism due to a unilateral adenoma must be distinguished from hyperaldosteronism due to bilateral hyperplasia to enable the proper choice between surgical treatment (for adenoma) or medical treatment (for hyperplasia). In more than 95% cases the cause of AICS is unilateral adrenal enlargement caused by adenoma or carcinoma, PPNAD being the commoner of two as the cause for AICS. Bilateral adrenal involvement was evident at imaging in 10 patients (11% in APA versus 35% in UAH, P = NS). Cross-sectional imaging is the mainstay of imaging for identifying and assessing adrenal lesions, for which an algorithm to aid characterization is helpful 5. Discussion. After surgery, biochemical cure of the disease was achieved in all patients; blood . Adrenal enlargement is also - rarely - called adrenomegaly, which can be unilateral or bilateral. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder with impaired synthesis of adrenal steroids resulting in low levels of cortisol and aldosterone and excess androgen. The etiologies for this unusual disorder are diverse. Rare unilateral adrenal hyperplasia ; Asymmetric Visualization of an adrenal is usually hyperplasia. On initial assessment, he was taking long-acting diltiazem, 240 mg twice a day, and his blood pressure was 150/84 mm Hg. Adrenal cortical hyperplasia is defined radiologically as a non-malignant growth, or enlargement, of the adrenal glands. Magnetic resonance imaging showed normal adrenal glands with volume of right bigger than left. . Unilateral PA due to aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) or unilateral adrenal hyperplasia (AH) can be a curable cause of HT. Magnetic resonance imaging showed normal adrenal glands with volume of right bigger than left. CT scan imaging of bilateral adrenal lesions. Primary adrenal malignancies are uncommon. Surgery. PDF | A 73-year-old gentleman with a background history of long-standing hypertension and hyperlipidaemia presented with one-year history of persistent. Fetal adrenal abnormalities can arise from either structural or functional anomalies. Open in new tab Our finding of unilateral adrenal hyperplasia causing primary aldosteronism is indeed uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all cases. Therefore, ultrasonography should only be used as an adjunct to CT or MR imaging when adrenal hyperplasia is suspected. Small unilateral adrenal mass However, they are almost always visualised in newborns.3,4This is attributed to physiolo- gical hypertrophy at this stage of life. Methods: The study included 35 patients who underwent unilateral adrenalectomy because of primary hyperaldosteronism after unequivocal successful lateralization by adrenal venous sampling. Some patients were receiving antihypertensive drug therapy. Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia (2%) Aldosterone-producing adrenal cortical carcinoma (<1%) Ectopic aldosterone-producing tumour (<1%) . Figure 5 Pathological features of PBMAH. In the cases of unilateral adrenal hyperplasia reported in detail in the literature, adrenal scanning with or without dexamethasone was performed in eight cases. Primary hyperaldosteronism, sometimes referred to as Conn syndrome, is an excess of aldosterone caused by autonomous overproduction. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders affecting different enzymes required for the cortisol synthesis in the adrenal glands [].The most common variant, 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), accounts for up to 99% of CAH cases [1, 2].The deficient enzyme, 21-hydroxylase, causes an impaired synthesis of cortisol and aldosterone. Nodular adrenal hyperplasia is usually bilateral and has only a few case reports of unilateral . Mohan S, Gupta A (2008) ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia: imaging findings of a rare condition: a case report. ACC may be biochemically functional or non-functional. The case of a patient with primary aldosteronism due to unilateral adrenal hyperplasia (UAH) is reported. Approximately 20% of Conn syndrome cases are secondary to adrenal hyperplasia. The Helsinki-Uusimaa Region is at the heart of Northern Europe, more precisely in the very south of Finland and it has some 230 km of Baltic Sea coastline. If a kidney is absent or in an ectopic location, the adrenal flattens and fills the fossa in what has been termed the "lying-down" adrenal sign ( Fig . In contrast, adrenal adenoma can result in the autonomic production of cortisol or aldosterone with suppression of ACTH production. 4), adrenal hyperplasia, or adrenal carcinoma. Radiology 1992; 184: 677-682. 3. The Management of Incidental Adrenal Masses revised in 2017 by the Adrenal Subcommittee of the Incidental Findings Committee of the American College of Radiology is an algorithm for the management of patients who are: adults (18 years old) asymptomatic for adrenal pathology referred for imaging for reasons unrelated to adrenal pathology Summary September 2007; World Journal of Surgery 31(8):1716-7 Hyperplasia, 25% Secondary (renal artery stenosis, reninoma) Imaging Features Small tumors usually <2 cm Usually requires thin (1.5 to 3.0 mm) sections through the adrenal glands Adrenal insufficiency Clinical Finding Hyperpigmentation Types Primary (Addison disease; adrenal destruction) Autoimmune, idiopathic Infarction, hemorrhage The adrenal gland is suprarenal and almond-shaped, with a hypoechoic cortex and hyperechoic medulla. To compare the efficacy of computed tomography (CT) and adrenal venous sampling, both examinations were performed in 24 patients with primary aldosteronism. Among functional lesions, hypercortisolism is the most common. On imaging, both adrenal glands appear enlarged with variable forms; either diffusely enlarged or with numerous supracentimetric nodules or as one macronodule up to 5 cm on each adrenal. indeed, while in patients with unilateral adrenal adenomas, bone damage is known to be directly related to hypercortisolism, in patients with pbmah the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the formation of adrenal masses may potentially directly impact on skeletal health, because of a longer exposure to glucocorticoid excess or some common | Find, read and cite all the research . primary hyperaldosteronism is a clinical condition caused by excessive and unregulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal gland, usually from either an adrenal adenoma or adrenal hyperplasia presents with hypertension that is refractory to medical treatments DOI: 10.1016/S1726-4901(09)70190-X Corpus ID: 22778843; Primary aldosteronism caused by unilateral adrenal hyperplasia: rethinking the accuracy of imaging studies. The disease may not be rare but actually overlooked as the nodular hyperplasia may be < 1 cm. Radiology 1989; 172:415-420. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. and less commonly unilateral.5 The many subtypes of adrenal cortical hyperplasia can be differentiated by their . According to adrenal venous sampling and histopathology, 39 patients were diagnosed as bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH), 37 as aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA), and 19 as unilateral adrenal . Adrenal hyperplasia generally is not treated surgically. In NHL, the adrenal gland involvement may be due to a primary or metastatic lymphoma. In four of these cases, a bilateral uptake pattern was observed; in . Article. These imaging findings were consistent with cortical hyperplasia and bilateral myelolipomas resulting from untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Potential causes include blunt abdominal trauma, septicemia, coagulopathies, anti . METHODS. }, author={Su-yu Chen and Sjen-Jung Shen and C W Chou and Chwen-Yi Yang and Hon-Mei Cheng . Publication types Case Reports MeSH terms Adosterol* Adrenal Glands / blood supply All . 5 The differential diagnosis of patients with bilateral AIs is distinct from that of patients with unilateral AIs.A literature summary from the 2009 Consensus Statement on AIs reported that the vast majority of patients with a unilateral AI have a nonfunctioning adrenal cortical adenoma at a frequency of 80%, followed by subclinical Cushing's (5%), pheochromocytoma (5%), aldosteronoma (1%); <5% . Renal agenesis results when the ureteric bud either fails to develop from the mesonephric (Wolffian) duct or fails to induce the surrounding metanephric mesenchyme to form glomeruli and nephrons. Link, Google Scholar; 4 Doppman JL, Travis WD, Nieman L, et al. 131 I NP-59 in liver, GB, and colon may interfere with adrenal imaging, but is considered normal uptake; Laxative 24 hrs prior to imaging is suggested since some of it is secreted by the bowel; . Adrenocorticotropin-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia: an uncommon cause of primary adrenal hypercortisolism. Bilateral adrenal adenomas and unilateral adrenal adenoma with contralateral benign or malignant adrenal lesion should be considered as well when radiologists encounter bilateral adrenal lesions. Primary hyperaldosteronism is a common cause of secondary hypertension, occurring in > 5-12% of hypertensive patients. Radiology 2000; 216:797-802. PBMAH can present asynchronous development of nodular hyperplasia, mimicking unilateral disease, with contralateral adrenal nodularity developing years later. It is typically due to adrenal hyperplasia (most commonly bilateral) or adrenal adenoma (typically unilateral). . Unilateral adrenal disease causing Cushing's syndrome is due to adenoma or carcinoma while bilateral disease is due to primary pigmented nodular adrenal dysplasia (PPNAD) and ACTH-independent macro nodular hyperplasia (AIMAH). The venous drainage of each adrenal gland is predominantly via a central vein. After surgical removal of the gland, a complete remission occurred. Radiology plays a significant role in differentiation. . The shape of the adrenals may be maintained, and mild enhancement may be noted after intravenous administration of a contrast agent. @article{Chen2006PrimaryAC, title={Primary aldosteronism caused by unilateral adrenal hyperplasia: rethinking the accuracy of imaging studies. There is a significant familial aggregation of cases. AVS also minimizes the risk of adrenalectomy of a non-producing adrenal incidentaloma [ 18 - 20 ]. Excessive reliance on adrenal scintigraphy without adrenal vein sampling may lead to serious errors in patient management. The primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia or the independent adrenocorticotropic hormone bilateral nodular adrenal hyperplasia is a rare cause hypercortisolism, its diagnosis is challenging and there is no clear way to decide the best therapeutic approach. Adrenal hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex is commonly identified by imaging, most often in the form of bilateral smooth, uniform enlargement of the adrenal glands. Adrenal lesions in primary hyperaldosteronism can be unilateral or bilateral adrenal adenoma(s) ( Fig. The arrows are pointing to the adrenal glands. 3. Up to 25% of PCC occurs in the context of hereditary cancer syndrome including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), von Hippel-Lindau disease, and neurofibromatosis type 1. Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia: a novel cause of surgically correctable primary hyperaldosteronism. In adults, the right adrenal gland is regularly visible using optimised exami- The effectiveness of surgical treatment of unilateral adrenal hyperplasia is evaluated. Only few case reports of the latter condition exist in the radiology literature, PPNAD being the commoner of two as the . Cushing syndrome due to primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease: findings at CT and MR imaging. Although only covering three percent (9,440 km 2) of our national land area, our Region is home to around 1.7 million inhabitants, which is about a third of the country's total population. 2. The ethical committee approval Ethical committee approval from Alexandria University was obtained. The weight of unilateral adrenal gland lesions in the PBMAH group ranged from 40 to 90 g. Microscopic examinations showed diffuse cortical hyperplasia with nodules of many sizes. It is postulate that this rare condition may be a new phase of the transformation between hyperplasia and adenomas that can also occur in the adrenal cortex similar to such transformations in other endocrine organs.
