Isolated DHEAS production by an adrenal neoplasm: Clinical, biochemical and pathologic characteristics

Adrenal oncocytoma is a rare adrenal neoplasm with only 57 cases reported in literature. Adrenal oncocytomas can achieve large sizes and are usually nonfunctioning. They are detected accidentally during abdominal scans. Most of these adrenal neoplasms are benign. A functioning adrenal oncocytoma manifested with virilization in a 16-year-old female child. There seems to be little benefit in biopsying these tumors and surgery remains the optimum management.

Associated Abnormalities

Ten patients with total congenital asymmetry were found in a review of the charts of some 860,000 admissions to The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center over the interval 1932-1966. Associated abnormalities described include two instances of adrenal neoplasm, one case of bilateral medullary sponge kidneys, and a possible case of Beckwith's syndrome. Six of the 10 patients had abnormalities of the genitourinary system. An oncogenic-teratogenic relationship and a possible biologic system for the study of such a relationship are suggested.

Renal Phosphate Excretion

ABSTRACT Renal phosphate excretion was measured in 23 cases of Cushing's syndrome using the phosphate excretion index (PEI) described by Nordin & Fraser (1960). The majority of the patients had an increased PEI associated with a tendency towards hypophosphoraemia. Regression of the syndrome due to intrasellar implantation of 90Y or to removal of an adrenal neoplasm led to prompt correction of both the PEI and the phosphoraemia. In patients with adrenal insufficiency the PEI values fell below the lower limit of the normal.
