Introduction: Bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia ACTH-independent (BMAH) represents less than 1% of the causes of Cushing’s syndrome (CS). Studies have shown that mutations in the gene ARMC5 are a common cause of family BMAH and are associated with severe clinical disease and the development of meningiomas.Case report: 64-years-old man presented to our consult due to bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia. He had diabetes mellitus, arter...

Introduction: Leiomyomas are benign tumors originating from the smooth muscle cells. They occur more frequently in the uterus and in the gastrointestinal system. Adrenal leiomyomas are rare tumors arising from the smooth muscle of the adrenal vein and its tributaries.Case report: Man, 72-years-old, referred to Endocrinology in the context of an adrenal incidentaloma (20 mm maximum diametre) detected in abdominal-pelvic CT performed for the study of splen...

Objectives: The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE1) gene is one of the most studied genes in the pathogenesis of type II diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease. However, in the context of exerciSemodels in T2DM, they are not yet fully understood. We intended to characterize the genetic profile of individuals with T2DM from an inter-individual point of view using prognostic markers and cardiovascular risk. On the other hand, relate it with the profile obtained wit...
