Foregut Cyst

A case of 49-year-old woman with a retroperitoneal undifferentiated foregut cyst attached to the right adrenal gland is reported. The bronchogenic cyst is a type of foregut cyst with a cartilage component, but in this case the multicystic tumor lacked both cartilage and gland. It is quite rare among retroperitoneal tumors and has not been reported so far to have malignant potential. The preoperative diagnosis was an adrenal benign incidentaloma, and the patient successfully underwent laparoscopic resection of the cystic tumor together with the right adrenal gland by lateral transabdominal approach. Laparoscopic surgery for a retroperitoneal tumor is problematic, however, since benignancy cannot be predicted. In laparoscopic adrenalectomy for non-functioning adrenal tumor, therefore, a differential diagnosis from retroperitoneal tumor should be given serious consideration.

A 57-year-old woman presented with an apparently obvious diagnosis of iatrogenic virilization. At the age of 51, she began a 4-year treatment with prednisone or cyclosporine, which are known to promote hair growth, for Behçet disease. At the age of 56, osteoporosis was overtreated with the anabolic steroid nandrolone. Insignificant inhibition by dexamethasone of the extremely high serum concentrations of testosterone and less high concentrations of weak androgens prompted us to search for a virilizing tumor. Computed tomography showed a 2.3 × 1.5 cm nodule in the right adrenal gland. As the patient refused surgery, virilization was treated with the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate (CPA), but for only 4 months because clinical and hormone abnormalities reversed and the tumor was no longer visible. The patient remains symptom-free. This first report of a curative effect of CPA on a purely virilizing adrenal tumor opens new avenues in the management of such tumors.

AbstractIntroduction: We present a case of a 29-year-old patient treated due to fully symptomatic pheochromocytoma of the right adrenal gland. Case presentation: Patient was operated on and an open right-sided adrenalectomy was performed. At the time of the surgery, a rupture of the tumor capsule occurred. Five years post-operatively, a recurrence of the symptoms of chromaffin-cell tumor was noted. After the exact localization of the multiple recurrences, the patient was reoperated on. Conclusion: The case of pheochromocytoma is presented due to the possibility of chromaffin-cell seeding into the peritoneum, with no signs of distal metastases so far.

AbstractWe are reporting a case of 68-year-old woman with insulinoma, after a non-successful tumor surgery and a long-term diazoxide treatment. She had a lot of hypoglycemia cases, and a weight gain of 50 kg. An abdominal CT scan demonstrated a tumor 28 mm in the diameter, in the head of the pancreas. The patient did not agree for the repeated insulinoma surgery. Furthermore, we found a lesion in the left adrenal gland (14 mm in the diameter) and in the right lung (8 mm in the diameter). Pheochromocytoma was diagnosed on the basis of hypertension, elevated levels of normetanephrine in the 24-h urine collection, and an elevated level of norepinephrine in a plasma sample. After the left adrenal gland removal we observed lower blood pressure. Since we had revealed the presence of somatostatin receptors by the somatostatin receptors scintigraphy, we decided to control hypoglycemia by a monthly subcutaneous administration of the long-acting lanreotide. Because of higher glucose levels (300–400 mg/dl) we started an intense insulin therapy. Nowadays, the patient feels better, she has lost 20 kg of her body weight, and we have observed normal blood glucose levels during the long-term lanreotide treatment. We have noticed neither side effects nor hypoglycemic episodes and we have reduced the dose of insulin. The presented case can be an evidence of the effective treatment of the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor of insulinoma type, with somatostatin analogue.

Adrenal hemangioma is an extremely rare benign and non-functioning neoplasm of the adrenal gland. We report a case of a 71-year-old woman admitted for intermittent abdominal pain and abdominal distension associated with vomiting and chronic constipation for 5 years. Physical examination revealed a large abdominal mass. Both computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging suggested hemangioma in the right lobe of the liver. Laboratory examinations and tumour markers were within normal limits, except for hypochromic microcytic anemia. The mass was removed intact by conventional surgery and histopathology revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland with no signs of malignancy. Surgical resection was curative, with no recurrence at the 2-year follow-up.

Renal cell cancer metastases without evidence of a primary tumor are extremely rare. These variants are usually showed as a spontaneous description of single clinical cases. Aim.This contribution is a clinical follow-up of synchronous renal cell cancer metastases of unknown primary site. Results.A 52-year-old patient U. with a history of increased blood pressure, up to 170/100 mmHg for the last 5 years, who had undergone many instrumental examinations, including ultrasound examination, because of this disease. The computed tomography of the abdomen showed a 4975 mm heterogeneous tumor in the right adrenal gland in October 2017. The combined positron emission and X-ray computed tomography showed a 795441 mm mass in the right adrenal gland, associated with elevated fluorodeoxyglucose metabolic activity SUVmax 7.25. Focal accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical SUVmax 4.31 in a 171124 mm mass was detected in the space of bifurcation in the mediastinum. The lytic lesion (1015 mm) was found in right superior L3 articular process. The patient underwent retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy and thoracoscopic removal of mediastinal tumor in November 2017 because of the oligometastatic nature of the process. The histological study identified clear-cell carcinoma with areas of papillary structure in the right adrenal gland. The immunohistochemical study showed carcinoma cells intensively expressing CD10, and some other cells RCC. The immune phenotype of the tumor was identified as clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. The immunohistological and immunohistochemical analysis reviled the metastases of the same variant of renal cell carcinoma in one of 9 lymph nodes. The patient was treated with pazopanib. The primary renal tumor was not detected during the dynamic observation, including the application of annual combined positron emission and X-ray computed tomography. The patient is alive without disease progression with a follow-up of 32 months. Conclusion.Metastases of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, including adrenal gland, without evidence of a primary site are extremely rare. The main method of treatment is a combination of surgery and targeted therapy, providing long-term local control of the course of the disease.
