Introduction: Immune-check point inhibitors (ICPis) has been shown to significantly improve survival in patients with advanced melanoma. Immune-related endocrinopathies (irEs) and in particular hypophysitis and thyroid dysfunction have been well described with an incidence varying from 9–17% and 3.8–13.2% respectively.Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of irEs in 325 (190 men) patients with melanoma receiving ICPis (PD-1/PDL-1 or CTLA-4 ...

BackgroundAdrenal incidentalomas (AI) are present in 3–10% of the general population. Up to 20% of them may have autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS). However, subclinical hypercortisolism isn’t clearly defined. The 1mg dexamethasone suppression test (ODST) is the most widely accepted for the screening of these patients. Recent data suggest that hair cortisol should be considered as a routine test for the screening of Cushing syndrome.<p cla...

Context: Adrenal incidentalomas (AI) can be found in 3–10% of the general population. The vast majority of them (70%) represents nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas (NFAI). Although several comorbidities have been studied in patients with autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) there are limited data for those with NFAI.Aim: To study metabolic disorders frequency in patients with AI and especially NFAI.Design: Retrospective stu...
