Oncocitoma suprarrenal / Adrenal oncocytoma

Introducción: El oncocitoma suprarrenal es un tumor infrecuente e incidental y sin manifestaciones clínicas propias. Objetivo: Presentar un caso de oncocitoma suprarrenal y sus particularidades diagnósticas y terapéuticas. Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 34 años de edad con antecedentes de salud, que se presentó por dolor lumbo-abdominal derecho, sin irradiación ni otros síntomas acompañantes. El examen físico fue normal. El ultrasonido informó un tumor de unos 7 cm de diámetro, localizado hacia el polo superior del riñón derecho. El origen suprarrenal se definió con la tomografía abdominal contrastada. Los valores sanguíneos de hormonas de la corteza suprarrenal fueron normales. Se hizo la exéresis total del tumor, mediante laparotomía convencional. El riñón estaba normal. El examen histopatológico notificó oncocitoma suprarrenal y lo ratificó la inmunohistoquímica. El paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente. Conclusiones: El oncocitoma suprarrenal es un tumor infrecuente y de hallazgo fortuito. La tomografía abdominal contrastada no tiene alta especificidad para diferenciarlo de otros tumores suprarrenales. El perfil inmunohistoquímico del tumor es concluyente en el diagnóstico definitivo(AU)

Introduction: Adrenal oncocytoma is a rare and incidental tumor without its own clinical manifestations. Objective: To present a case of adrenal oncocytoma and its diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics. Clinical case: 34-year-old male patient with a medical history, who presented with right lumbo-abdominal pain, without radiation or other accompanying symptoms. The physical exam was normal. The ultrasound reported a tumor of about 7 cm in diameter, located towards the upper pole of the right kidney. The adrenal origin was defined with contrast abdominal tomography. The blood levels of hormones of the adrenal cortex were normal. Total excision of the tumor was performed by conventional laparotomy. The kidney was normal. Histopathological examination reported adrenal oncocytoma and immunohistochemistry confirmed it. The patient evolved satisfactorily. Conclusions: Adrenal oncocytoma is a rare and fortuitous tumor. Contrast abdominal tomography does not have high specificity to differentiate it from other adrenal tumors. The immunohistochemical profile of the tumor is conclusive in the definitive diagnosis(AU)

Pediatric Adrenocortical Oncocytoma presenting as Cushing’s Syndrome and Peripheral Precocious Puberty:A case report and review of literature / Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies

@#Oncocytic adrenocortical tumours (OATs) or oncocytomas are extremely rare and are usually benign and nonfunctional. We report the case of a 4-year-old male with a right-sided, functional oncocytic adrenocortical adenoma, who presented with precocious puberty and Cushing’s syndrome. After work-up, the patient underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The excised adrenal mass weighed 21 g and measured 3.5 cm in maximum dimension. Histological examination demonstrated no features suggestive of aggressive biological behaviour. The patient had no features of recurrent or metastatic disease and had prepubertal testosterone levels with suppressed hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis twelve months after the surgery. A discussion of this case and a review of the literature on functional OATs in the pediatric population are presented.
