A case of a 58-year-old man with bilateral deoxycorticosterone (DOC)-secreting adrenocortical adenoma is reported. Before surgery, plasma levels of DOC and corticosterone were markedly elevated, but both adrenal hormone levels normalized after the surgical removal of the bilateral adrenal tumors. The histologic examination revealed bilateral adrenocortical adenoma, but curiously, the tissue concentrations of DOC and corticosterone were elevated only in the right adrenal gland.
报告了一例58岁男性患有双侧分泌脱氧皮质酮(DOC)的肾上腺皮质腺瘤。术前,血浆中DOC和皮质酮水平显著升高,但双侧肾上腺肿瘤手术切除后,两种肾上腺激素水平均恢复正常。组织学检查显示为双侧肾上腺皮质腺瘤,但奇怪的是,DOC和皮质酮的组织浓度仅在右侧肾上腺中升高。
