Kompozit Adrenal Medüller Tümör: Olgu Sunumu

Year 2018, Volume: 81 Issue: 2, 67 - 70, 29.05.2018

Abstract

DOI: 10.26650/IUITFD.306088


Birden fazla hücre tipinden oluşan ve
karışık histolojik görünüm içeren adrenal neoplaziler nadir görünürler. 57
yaşında, kadın hastanın bulantı, idrar yapma sıklığında artış, karın ağrısı ve
hipertansiyon hikayesi mevcuttu. Laboratuar sonuçlarından 24 saatlik idrar
tetkikinde artmış idrar dopamin ve metanefrin atılımı saptandı. Bilgisayarlı
tomografide 50 mm, sağ suprarenal kitle saptandı, manyetik rezonans
görüntülemede T2 ağırlıklı görüntülerde hiperintens, T1 ağırlıklı görüntülerde
heterojen izointens görünüm mevcuttu. Hastaya laparoskopik sağ adrenalektomi
yapıldı. Perioperatif dönemde herhangi bir sorun olmadı. Histopatolojik ve
immünhistokimyasal incelemede feokromositoma ve ganglionöromaya ait karışık
medüller histolojik özellikler izlendi. Kapsüler ve periadrenal yağ dokusu
invazyonu da izlenmesine rağmen hasta semptomsuz ve hastalıksız olarak beşinci
yılındadır. Kompozit adrenal medüller tümörler benign özellikli olup nadir
görülür ancak bir olguda uzak metastaz bildirilmiştir. Bizim olgumuz da
kapsüler ve periadrenal yağ doku invazyonu olması nedeniyle malign davranış potansiyeline
sahiptir. Bu tür hastalarda ömür boyu klinik ve biyokimyasal takip
önerilmelidir

Composite Adrenal Medullary Tumor: A Case Report

Year 2018, Volume: 81 Issue: 2, 67 - 70, 29.05.2018

Abstract

Adrenal neoplasms comprising more than one
cell type and demonstrating a mixed histologic appearance are rare. A
57-year-old woman presented with a history of nausea, an increase in the
frequency of urination, abdominal pain, and hypertension. Laboratory results
revealed elevated urinary dopamine and metanephrine excretion in 24-h urine collection.
A 50-mm right suprarenal mass was detected on computed tomography, which was
hyperintense on T2-weighted and heterogeneously isointense on T1-weighted
images on magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent laparoscopic right
adrenalectomy. Her perioperative period was uneventful. Histopathologic and
immunohistochemical examination showed mixed medullary histologic
characteristics for pheochromocytoma and ganglineuroma. Although the capsular
and periadrenal adipose tissues were invaded by the tumor, the patient was
disease and symptom free at the 5-year follow-up. Composite adrenal medullary
tumors are rare, and benign tumors with a distant metastasis have been reported
in one patient. Our case also showed a potential malignant behavior in terms of
the capsular and periadrenal adipose tissue invasion. It can be concluded that
such patients should undergo life-long clinical and biochemical follow-ups.
