Introduction: Giant and cystic catecholamine-secreting tumors are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally during imaging. A simple mobilization of the tumor can cause the release of catecholamines into the blood and is therefore associated with high morbidity and mortality. Here, we aimed to present a patient with a 13 cm mass in the left adrenal gland and diagnosed as giant cystic pheochromocytoma.Case Report: A 62-year-old male patient presented...

Introduction: Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is most commonly seen in reticuloendothelial system tissues such as liver, spleen and lymph nodes. Rarely, it can be detected in non-hepatosplenic atypical localizations such as the adrenal glands. Although the underlying mechanism is not clearly elucidated, it is suggested that the adrenal glands have hematopoietic activity in the fetal period and EMH may develop from the remains here due to chronic anemia. We aimed to present ...

Introduction: Pituitary apoplexy is a life-threatening clinical syndrome that develops as a result of bleeding or infarction in a pituitary adenoma. Here, we aimed to present a case of cabergoline-resistant macroprolactinoma who developed pituitary apoplexy.Case Report: A 40-year-old male patient presented to neurology 2 years ago with severe headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 15.5×18×21 mm macroadenoma in the pituitary...
