Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Adrenal gland is a bipartite endocrine gland divided into cortex and medulla. As their developments are different, a wide range of tumours are encountered. We have presented here adrenal tumors of varied histomorphology, in one year study from August 2013 to July 2014, at Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad. Aim and objectives: To study the spectrum of adrenal tumors diagnosed at Gandhi hospital for over a period of one year, correlation with clinical features and an overview of the pit falls encountered. Materials and methods: All the adrenal gland specimens submitted to the Department of Pathology, Gandhi Hospital, Hyderabad, from August 2013 to July 2014 were included in the study. These specimens were subjected to routine processing and ancillary techniques were used to arrive at final diagnosis. Results: A total of 8 cases were encountered in the present study. Majority of the tumors were seen in the age group of 20-40 years with female preponderance and only 37.5% were detected co-incidentally on imaging. Pheochromocytoma was the commonest tumor encountered (50%). Conclusion: We encountered a total of 8 cases of Adrenal gland tumours, including almost one from each category of the WHO classification. Majority of the tumors were seen in the age group of 20-40 years with female preponderance. Pheochromocytoma was the commonest tumor encountered (50%).
