Small Bowel Neoplasms: A Pictorial Review.

Small bowel tumors are rare and account for approximately 3% of all gastrointestinal tumors in the United States. The incidence of small bowel neoplasms is rising-in particular, there is a rising incidence of small bowel carcinoid tumors. This may in part be due to small bowel lesion identification in an increasing number of cross-sectional imaging studies performed for other indications as well as increased use of advanced imaging techniques to assess specifically for small bowel disease.

Bilateral adrenal myelolipomas presenting as acute adrenal insufficiency in an adult with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Adrenal myelolipomas are relatively rare tumours composed of adipocytes and myeloid cells that arise in response to chronic adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation. We present the case of bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a 39-year-old man with untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) presenting with acute adrenal insufficiency and severe virilisation. Phenotypically, he is a man of short stature and has hyperpigmentation of the skin, gingiva and nail beds.
