Article Abstract

11 children (age 2-14 years) with adrenal tumors were treated between 1988-1995. 7 patients had adrenal cortical tumors (2 adenomas and 5 carcinomas) while 4 patients had medullar tumors (3 pheochromocytomas and 1 sympathoblastoma). Clinically, 3 patients presented Cushing syndrome, 4 had adreno-genital syndrome and 3 had paroxysmal tachycardia and hypertension. The surgical treatment consisted in adrenalectomy using a transverse incision in the right or left hypochondrium (Bazy).

Purpose: Adrenal vascular tumors are mainly represented by adrenal cavernous hemangiomas (ACHs) and adrenal cystic lymphangiomas (ACLs). Their radiological features often overlap with malignant tumors, therefore ruling out malignancy becomes mandatory. We analyzed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data to identify specific characteristics of these tumors.

Background: A right adrenal gland may present in the form of adreno-hepatic fusion (AHF), in which the adrenal cells are interspersed among the hepatocytes without septation. This rare, naturally-occurring phenomenon may be associated with preoperative misdiagnosis. We present two cases of adrenal tumor in patients with AHF that were misdiagnosed, despite thorough preoperative work-ups.

Background: Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor, and bilateral pheochromocytomas is even less common. Due to the limited experience with such cases, this study aims to explore the optimal surgical strategy, assess the potential advantages of robotic surgery, and evaluate surgical outcomes for managing bilateral pheochromocytomas.

Case Description: This report presented a case of a 33-year-old woman with bilateral pheochromocytomas related to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2a (MEN2A), who was successfully managed by synchronous transperitoneal robotic-assisted bilateral cortical-sparing adrenalectomy.

Background: The selection and extent of application for both total adrenalectomy (TA) and partial adrenalectomy (PA) within this surgical approach continue to be matters of debate. This paper compares the postoperative efficacy and functional indicators of PA and TA to provide comprehensive insights for clinicians to consider the best surgical treatment options.

Methods: Systematic review on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was conducted.

Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is a rare, benign, non-functioning tumor characterized by the presence of adipose tissue and bone marrow elements. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with intermittent left flank pain and an incidental finding of an adrenal tumor on computed tomography. The patient underwent laparoscopic tumor resection due to the large size of the tumor.
