Nonfunctioning adrenocortical carcinoma.

Abstract

The rarity of adrenocortical carcinoma prompted us to report a case who came with a history of swelling in the left flank associated with pain, weakness and loss of appetite. Ultrasonography revealed a left retroperitoneal mass which was removed by radical surgery along with the left kidney and spleen. On histopathological examination, a diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma was made. (Hough criteria score 2.97). The cells of the tumor were arranged in closely packed columns and cords supported by fibrovascular stroma. There was no evidence of metastasis.

[Stromal luteoma of the ovary. Differential diagnosis of steroid cell tumors].

An observation of a stromal luteoma of the ovary is reported. It is a rare tumor (only about thirty cases of it have been published yet), occurring mostly in post menopausal women. Endocrine symptoms and sometimes virilizing signs may be observed. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is the most frequent clinical manifestation. This macroscopically observed tumor is surrounded by ovarian stroma and entirely composed of luteinized cells devoid of crystals of Reinke. Hyperthecosis of ovarian stroma is often observed. Its evolution is always benign. The authors recalled the place of stromal luteoma of the ovary among steroid (lipid) cell tumors and the elements of a differential diagnosis. These tumor might derive from ovarian stromal cells.

[Virilizing tumor in a woman. Management].

Androgen secreting ovarian or adrenal neoplasms represent a rare cause of hirsutism in women. Because of their small volume and episodic secretion, a number of these tumors may be difficult to diagnose and treat. The authors report a case of lipoid cell tumor of the ovary, which was only detected, because of its small volume, by catheterization of adrenal and ovarian veins. This latter procedure should be performed when strong clinical and biological suspicion is faced by the negativity of other imaging techniques.

Adrenal rest carcinoma in hilum of kidney.

Adrenocortical rests are uncommon in adults and infrequently undergo malignant changes. Most of the published cases are those of functional tumors allowing preoperative diagnosis on the basis of the resulting endocrinopathy. Most nonfunctioning tumors were found accidentally at operation or autopsy. A case is presented of a parapelvic nonfunctioning adrenocortical rest carcinoma situated in the renal hilus in a fifty-year-old woman. No such tumor has been described previously.
