Patients with adrenal adenoma had a higher prevalence of obesity, low socioeconomic status, tobacco use, and diabetes 5-10 years before diagnosis than control individuals with prior imaging but no ...

Kyushu University researchers have uncovered a surprising layer of complexity in aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs)—adrenal gland tumors that drive high blood pressure. Using cutting-edge analysis ...

Instead, the vast majority of these lipid-poor adenomas can be characterized employing a CT washout study. This imaging methodology quantitates loss of contrast enhancement by a lesion and thus ...

Pentixafor PET/CT was well tolerated and demonstrated high specificity and moderate sensitivity for identifying unilateral aldosterone-producing adenomas compared with adrenal vein ...

By far the most common causes of Conn syndrome are bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (also known as idiopathic hyperplasia) and aldosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma, accounting for 60% and 35% of the ...

Compared with unilateral adrenalectomy or medical management, bilateral adrenalectomy improves biochemical remission and hypertension in patients with cortisol-secreting adrenal tumors.
