Summary
Adrenal pseudocysts are rare growths. This study reviews two cases, detailing their classification, causes, complications, and the role of imaging in evaluating adrenal and kidney masses.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Adrenal cysts are uncommon, with pseudocysts representing a specific subtype.
- Understanding their pathogenesis and potential complications is crucial for clinical management.
Observation:
- The study presents two cases of adrenal pseudocyst.
- Detailed radiologic findings from preoperative evaluations are discussed.
Findings:
- Adrenal pseudocysts require careful classification based on their unique characteristics.
- Radiologic imaging plays a vital role in the preoperative assessment of adrenal and renal masses.
Implications:
- Accurate diagnosis of adrenal pseudocysts aids in appropriate treatment planning.
- Enhanced understanding of radiologic findings improves the preoperative evaluation of suprarenal and renal lesions.

01:26Cushing Syndrome I: Introduction
Cushing syndrome refers to the collection of clinical manifestations that arise when tissues are exposed to excessive amounts of cortisol or cortisol-like medications over an extended period. Cortisol, a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal cortex, regulates metabolism, immune responses, and the body’s adaptation to stress. When its concentration remains chronically elevated, these physiological pathways become dysregulated, resulting in the characteristic features of the syndrome.Exogenous...
01:19Cushing Syndrome II: Pathophysiology
Cortisol production is normally governed by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, which maintains hormonal balance through tightly regulated feedback mechanisms. Disruption of this regulatory system is central to the development of Cushing syndrome, whether the excess cortisol originates from external medications or internal pathology. Persistent cortisol elevation alters metabolism, immune function, and endocrine signaling, producing the characteristic clinical features of the...
