- Abstract
Objective: To share the clinical, radiological and biochemical features of rare atypical pathologies in our adrenalectomy series. Materials and Methods: Patients with atypical adrenal pathology among patients who underwent open or laparoscopic adrenalectomy for various indications were retrospectively reviewed. the hormonal behavior, radiological and pathological features of rare atypical adrenal pathologies in our series are demonstrated. Information about the postoperative follow-up and surveillance of the patients is given. Results: Rare adrenal pathologies were detected in 17 (11.6%) of 146 patients who underwent adrenalectomy. Adrenal cysts (6), cavernous hemangioma (3), ganglioneuroblastoma (1), ganglioneuroma (2), ectopic thyroid tissue (1), schwannoma (1), arteriovenous malformation (1), sarcomatoid carcinoma (1), and primary adrenal lenfoma (1) were the rare atypical adrenal pathologies in our series. Conclusion: Although there are no specific laboratory or radiological findings for most atypical adrenal pathologies, it should be kept in mind that such pathologies with a benign course can also be encountered by the clinician.
