OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effectiveness of clitoroplasty of reserving the clitoris dorsal neurovascular bundle and the ventral complete urethral plate for genital virilization in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
METHODS
Between June 2000 and October 2015, 27 girls with genital
A group of 20 patients with torsion was investigated. The study indicated that immediate surgical intervention with a period of torsion of the testis of less than 6 h will prevent impairment of testicle function. The histology of testicular biopsies taken from such patients revealed only
The clinical and pathologic features of 13 cases of juvenile granulosa cell tumor were studied. Patients' ages ranged from 6 months to 56 years (median age, 17 years). Only one patient was postmenopausal. Three premenarchal patients had isosexual development. Five of seven postmenarchal patients had
The effects of suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals on freshwater and marine prosobranch species were analysed in laboratory experiments. In this last of three publications, the responses of the fresh water snail Marisa cornuarietis and of two marine prosobranchs (Nucella lapillus, Nassarius
Adrenal cortical neoplasms in pediatric patients are rare. The clinical manifestations and biologic behavior of these tumors can be quite distinct from their histologically similar counterparts in the adult population. We report 5 cases of adrenocortical neoplasms in young children and review their
OBJECTIVE
To determine the histogenesis of an unusual steroid cell tumor that occurred in the broad ligament.
METHODS
The tumor occurred in a 29-year-old woman who had evidence of virilization. The preoperative testosterone level was greater than 700 ng/dL, but it returned to normal after surgery.
Luteoma of pregnancy is a rare nonneoplastic tumor-like mass of the ovary that emerges during pregnancy and regresses spontaneously after delivery. It is usually asymptomatic and is found incidentally during a cesarean section or postpartum tubal ligation. However, luteomas can be hormonally active,
Six cases of adrenal cortical tumors are presented with a discussion of the clinical features and histological findings. Five of the 6 children, aged between 6 mths and 6 yrs, presented with symptoms of hyperadrenalism, 4 with virilization and 1 with Cushingoid features. The remaining infant
Fifty-six patients affected with hereditary angioedema have been followed during long-term prophylaxis with attenuated androgens. The treatment was started in patients who had one or more severe attacks per month. In 24 patients, the therapy lasted for more than 5 years. The minimal effective dose
Primary neoplasms of the adrenal cortex are rare in children and differ significantly in epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and biologic features from their counterparts in adults. In children, the inclusive term adrenocortical neoplasm is applied because adrenal adenoma and adrenal carcinoma
Extensive hormonal evaluation was performed in a girl with adrenal carcinoma during the primary tumor stage, following adrenalectomy, during the period when metastases were evident and while on treatment with o,p'-DDD. At the age of 14 months a diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia was made
This is a survey of the French South-East Group of Research in Pediatric Surgery (GRECPSE) concerning 18 Solid Adrenal Tumors, observed during a 20-years period (1969-1989) in 11 boys and 8 girls. 13 are tumors of the adrenal cortex (9 adenomas and 4 carcinomas). Clinical virilization is found in 7,
To investigate the diagnosis and surgical treatment of adrenocortical oncocytoma. The clinical data from three cases of adrenocortical oncocytomas (ACOs) were retrospectively analyzed and discussed in light of the relevant literature. In these three cases, one presented with virilization, while the
Rare carcinoid-like ACTH-active tumour of the thymus in a woman of 40 is described. The tumour was of a solid-trabecular structure with rosette-like figures and consisted of spindle, polyhedral and roundish cells containing electron-dense granules of the neurosecretory type. Hormonal activity of the
BACKGROUND
An accessory ovary is a rare structure containing normal ovarian tissue, which has a direct or ligamentous connection with a normal and eutopic ovary.
UNASSIGNED
In the study, we reported a 46-year-old woman presented with secondary amenorrhea and virilization symptoms for 1
