Abstract

Cushing's syndrome and pheochromocytomas (PCCs) are associated with endocrine hypertension. Cortisol-producing adrenal adenomas are a major cause of Cushing's syndrome. Simultaneous occurrence of cortisol-producing adrenal adenomas and PCCs is rare. Additionally, a PCC generally produces catecholamines in proportion to its size; therefore, micro-PCCs are rarely found in clinical practice. It is unknown whether micro-PCCs produce excess catecholamines during the pre-biochemical phase. Herein, we report the case of a 53-year-old woman who was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of left adrenal incidentaloma. She had been suffering from hypertension for 7 years. Endocrine tests indicated autonomous cortisol secretion, and she was diagnosed with cortisol-producing adrenal adenoma. A laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was performed. The final pathological examination revealed an adrenocortical adenoma measuring 26 × 24 mm. In addition, a micro-PCC measuring 3 × 2 mm was incidentally found near the cortisol-secreting adrenal adenoma in the ipsilateral adrenal gland. All catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes, tyrosine hydroxylase, aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase, dopamine β-hydroxylase, and phenyl ethanolamine N-methyltransferase, were detected in this micro-PCC by immunohistochemical analyses. Although catecholamine levels were not biochemically elevated, the PCC expressed catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes. This is the first immunohistochemical report to show that a micro-PCC produces excess catecholamines in the pre-biochemical phase.

摘要

库欣综合征和嗜铬细胞瘤(PCCs)与内分泌性高血压相关。分泌皮质醇的肾上腺腺瘤是库欣综合征的主要病因。分泌皮质醇的肾上腺腺瘤与PCCs同时发生的情况较为罕见。此外,PCC通常根据其大小分泌相应比例的儿茶酚胺;因此,微小PCC在临床实践中很少被发现。目前尚不清楚微小PCC在生化前期是否会产生过量儿茶酚胺。在此,我们报告一例53岁女性病例,该患者因左肾上腺偶发瘤被转诊至我院作进一步评估。她患有高血压7年。内分泌检查提示皮质醇自主分泌,诊断为分泌皮质醇的肾上腺腺瘤。遂行腹腔镜下左肾上腺切除术。最终病理检查显示肾上腺皮质腺瘤大小为26×24mm。此外,在同侧肾上腺分泌皮质醇的肾上腺腺瘤附近偶然发现一个大小为3×2mm的微小PCC。通过免疫组化分析在这个微小PCC中检测到了所有儿茶酚胺生物合成酶,即酪氨酸羟化酶、芳香族L-氨基酸脱羧酶、多巴胺β-羟化酶和苯乙醇胺N-甲基转移酶。尽管儿茶酚胺水平在生化检查中未升高,但该PCC表达了儿茶酚胺生物合成酶。这是首例免疫组化报告显示微小PCC在生化前期产生过量儿茶酚胺。
