A 67-year-old Japanese woman who had end-stage renal disease was referred to our hospital for kidney transplantation. Abdominal CT revealed a large adrenal mass with inhomogeneity. She had a history of hospitalization for stroke and heart failure and exhibited prominent hyporeninemic hyperaldosteronism. Histological examination of the resected tumor with anti-CYP11B2 antibody indicated that she had a vascular endothelial cyst with primary aldosteronism (PA) due to multiple adrenocortical micronodules. This report implicates the pathological interaction between adrenal vascular cysts and PA-mediated vascular damage of the adrenal vein.
一名患有终末期肾病的67岁日本女性因肾移植被转诊至我院。腹部CT显示一个大的肾上腺肿块,密度不均匀。她有中风和心力衰竭住院史,表现为明显的低肾素性醛固酮增多症。用抗CYP11B2抗体对切除的肿瘤进行组织学检查表明,她患有因多个肾上腺皮质微结节导致的伴有原发性醛固酮增多症(PA)的血管内皮囊肿。本报告提示肾上腺血管囊肿与PA介导的肾上腺静脉血管损伤之间存在病理相互作用。
