Oncocytic cell neoplasms are usually found in the thyroid or salivary glands and the kidneys. Adrenal oncocytoma (AO) is an extremely rare localization. It is often non-functional and the suspicion of malignancy is considered when the size of an adrenal incidentaloma is greater than 4 cm. These adrenal oncocytomas, however, are large, round, and encapsulated with a benign presentation and evolution.We report on a 40-year-old male patient. Upon suspicion of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the general physician instructed a chest CT scan, which, fortuitously, revealed a suspicious left adrenal lesion measuring 62x45mm. A biochemical investigation was negative for either pheochromocytoma or Cushing's syndrome, allowing the recommended surgery to be performed. The anatomopathological analysis showed an uncommon benign adrenal lesion, an adrenal oncocytoma.
Testicular agenesis, also called testicular regression syndrome (TRS), is a rare disease. It is defined by the complete absence of testicular tissue associated with a 46,XY karyotype. The phenotype is variable depending on when gonadal regression occurs in utero. Several etiologies have been identified. Here, we report two cases of TRS with an initial diagnosis of cryptorchidism and bilateral impalpable testes. The hormonal assessment showed an undetectable anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and high gonadotropins. Also, radiological exploration did not show the testicles in a normal position, which was confirmed by a negative laparoscopy, establishing the diagnosis of TRS. Androgen replacement therapy along with psychological support to the patient is recommended is such cases.
Prolactinomas are usually benign tumors and are the most common type of secretory adenomas. Their diagnosis is well coded, and their severity depends on the tumor size identified by magnetic resonance imaging.The aim of this work is to study the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic profile of prolactinomas through a retrospective and descriptive study of 95 cases of prolactinomas conducted at the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
