PPT-Disorders of the adrenal glands

ADRENAL CORTICAL ADENOMA AND CARCINOMA   Adrenal cortical adenomas and carcinomas may nonfunctioning or functioning The term functioning refers to metabolically active tumors that produce excessive amounts of adrenal cortical hormones The most common clinical syndromes associated with a functioning adrenal cortical adenoma and functional carcinoma are primary .

Ultrasound of the adrena Adrenal glands can be affected by a variety of lesions. Adrenal lesions can either be primary, of adrenal origin, or secondary to other pathologies. Primary adrenal lesions can further be either of cortical or medullary origin. Functioning adrenal lesions can also give clues to the histologic diagnosis and direct workup. Over the years, various imaging techniques have been developed that have increased diagnostic accuracy and helped in better characterization of adrenal lesions non-invasively. In the first part of the two part series, we review adrenal imaging techniques and adrenal cortical tumors such as adenomas, adrenocortical tumors, adrenal hyperplasia and oncocytomas.

In some cases, Cushing syndrome develops from long-term or overuse of steroid medications(medicines that act like cortisol in the body). In other cases, the body itself produces too much cortisol. This overproduction can happen for several reasons, including the presence of tumors(abnormal growths) such as a:.
