Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that urine normetanephrine levels were significantly higher in dogs with pheochromocytomas, with a sensitivity of 78.9% and specificity of 76.9%, but many cases had low levels despite having tumors.
- * The findings suggest that relying solely on urine metanephrine testing could miss many pheochromocytoma diagnoses, indicating the need for updated diagnostic guidelines.
MicroRNAs as Epigenetic Regulators of Obesity.

In obesity, the process of adipogenesis largely determines the number of adipocytes in body fat depots. Adipogenesis is regulated by several adipocyte-selective micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) and transcription factors that modulate adipocyte proliferation and differentiation. However, some miRNAs block the expression of master regulators of adipogenesis.

The combination of clinical characteristics and diagnostic exams including imaging, laboratory, and molecular tests help in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal lesions. We report a 41-year-old male with a metastatic retroperitoneal lesion with atypical characteristics, displaying pathological findings consistent with both nonsecretory pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas and adrenal cortex carcinoma. The patient was examined for abdominal pain, weight loss, and hypertension.

Introduction And Importance: Adrenal Cavernous Hemangioma is an extremely rare histological type of adrenal tumors, typically asymptomatic and occasionally revealed by a symptom or complication. Here, we report an atypical symptomatic case to enrich the limited international case series.
Case Presentation: We present the case of an 80-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic left adrenalectomy for a painful and potentially malignant left adrenal neoplasm, leading to the discovery of a five-centimeter adrenal cavernous hemangioma.
