We present the case of an adrenal incidentaloma of considerable size which turned out to be a stomach-like diverticular mass, probably a malformation arising from the embryonic foregut. We discuss whether results possibly obtained by extensive and costly investigative techniques would have changed the management.

Prevalence and Predictive Features of CT-Derived Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Metabolically Healthy MACS.
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)
January 2025
Gulhane Faculty of Medicine, Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, University of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: Patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) are at increased risk of cardiometabolic outcomes, such as hyperglycemia, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is also associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of NAFLD in metabolically healthy subjects with MACS.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and incidence of dementia in patients with non-overtly functional adrenal tumours (NOFATs).
Design: A national retrospective register-based study was conducted on patients diagnosed with NOFAT and controls diagnosed between 2005 and 2019, in Sweden. Individuals diagnosed with overt adrenal hormone excess or previous malignancies were excluded.

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Gulhane Faculty of Medicine and Gulhane Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences 06018 Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: Cushing's syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been linked to an increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders. Whether patients with non-functioning adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI) or cortisol-secreting adrenal incidentaloma (CSAI) have altered TyG index is unknown.

Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Nutrition, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905, United States.
Objectives: The impact of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) on cognition is incompletely characterized. We aimed to assess cognition in patients with MACS, identify factors associated with lower cognition, and determine the impact of adrenalectomy on cognition.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study (4/2019 to 10/2022) and a longitudinal cohort study (10/2021 to 9/2023) of adults with MACS and referent subjects.
Adrenal adenoma secreting 17-hydroxyprogesterone mimicking non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Endocrinology, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Warsaw, Poland.
In adrenal steroidogenesis, 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is a substrate for 21-hydroxylase, one of the crucial enzymes of the cortisol and aldosterone biosynthesis pathway. Thus, measurement serum 17-OHP concentration is used when the diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is suspected. In the classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency, randomly timed measurements of 17-OHP are generally significantly elevated using different immunoassays.
