Single Process

This paper describes a case of adrenal myelolipoma with an unusual characteristic: the presence of bone spicules. The lesion was associated with an accessory adrenal gland containing foci of myeloadiposis. The authors believe that myelolipoma and myeloadiposis are closely associated and are in fact the expression of a single process that is both focal (myeloadiposis) and diffuse (myelolipoma). The process consists of the differentiation of choristomatous primitive mesenchymal cells into hematopoietic tissue, adipose tissue and, in rare cases, bone tissue.

Abdominal Ultrasound Examination

Abdominal ultrasound examination in an 11-year-old, intact, female Labrador dog with hepatic disease revealed a nodular swelling of the left adrenal gland. Hyperadrenocorticism was suspected, but endocrine tests were negative. At the owner's request, an adrenalectomy was performed. Grossly, a nodular mass protruded from the external surface of the left adrenal gland and in cut section was hemorrhagic and effaced the cortical and medullary regions. Histologic examination revealed a cortical neoplasm with medullary involvement. The mass was composed of well-differentiated adipose cells, megakaryocytes, hematopoietic cells, and macrophages containing hemosiderin deposits. A diagnosis of cortical adrenal myelolipoma was made.

Abstract Background: We report the case of a patient with VHL Syndrome with an adrenal lesion compatible with non-functioning pheochromocytoma and it’s diagnostic management. Case Report: JMN, female, 32 years old, referred for screening for VHL syndrome, after diagnosis in a sister, who has clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC), cerebellar hemangioblastoma and genetic analysis, by next generation sequencing (NGS), which identified the allelic variant germline pathogenic c. 256C> T in heterozygosis in exon 1 of the VHL gene. The patient is asymptomatic and her physical examination is normal. Optic fundus examination with lesion suggestive of right hemangioblastoma. Family history: mother who died at 59 with a diagnosis of ccRCC, without genetic investigation. Maternal aunt diagnosed with VHL and involvement of the cerebellum, kidney and pancreas. Two brothers with genetic and clinical diagnosis of VHL syndrome, presenting pheochromocytoma and renal carcinoma. Laboratory tests: plasma metanephrine: 0.3 nmol/L (RV <0.5nmol/L), plasma normetanephrine: 0.5 nmol/L (RV <0.9nmol/L), chromogranin A 61 ng/mL (RV <93 ng/ml). Genetic evaluation by NGS identified the pathogenic variant c. 256C> T in heterozygosity in exon 1 of the VHL gene. Topographic examinations: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of adrenals with nodule in the left adrenal gland, hypersignal in T2, measuring 2.9 x 2.3 cm, suggestive of pheochromocytoma and whole body scintigraphy with metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) positive in the left adrenal gland. She underwent resection of the tumor in the left adrenal, without complications. Anatomopathology compatible with pheochromocytoma with immunohistochemistry for ki67 <3%. Currently, the patient is clinically stable and with periodic follow-up, as well as family members, performing screening for diseases associated with VHL. Conclusion: VHL syndrome is one of the possible causes of non-functioning pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, and adrenal lesions with negative metanephrine levels do not exclude them; thus highlighting the importance of exams such as CT or MRI and functional topographic studies (whole body scintigraphy with MIBG and / or PETCT with Galio68DOTA) for their diagnosis.

Neoplastic Cells

A 10-y-old female captive Formosan serow ( Capricornis swinhoei) was inactive and was azotemic. An autopsy was performed following her death, and multiple irregularly shaped, white-to-gray masses of 0.5–2 cm diameter were noted on both ureters, the left adrenal gland, urinary bladder, and uterus. Microscopically, organs were effaced by a poorly demarcated, highly infiltrative neoplasm, composed of neoplastic round cells arranged in islands, sheets, or nests with occasional rosette formation. The neoplastic cells were small: ≤2 red blood cell (≤ 15 μm) diameter. The neoplastic cells were positive for CD56, CK, FLI-1, and NSE, but negative for desmin, GFAP, melan A, NF, PAX-8, S100, synaptophysin, and vimentin. Therefore, the diagnosis of retroperitoneal extraosseous peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) was made. pPNET with FLI-1 expression has not been reported previously in animals, to our knowledge.

Tomography Scan

We report a unique case of a 25-year-old man who was incidentally identified to have a mass in the left adrenal gland region by computerized tomography scan. The image revealed a 1.8 × 1.6 cm, well-defined adrenal mass with moderately homogeneous enhancement. The mass was laparoscopically completely removed, and the diagnosis of a solid variant glomus tumor of the adrenal gland was rendered. There were no histologic features indicating atypia or malignance and no primary tumors anywhere else. The patient was free of disease at the 6-month follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first case of primary adrenal glomus tumor described in the literature.
