Introduction: Acquired adrenal insufficiency is a known risk of unilateral adrenalectomy. However, the rates of early and prolonged adrenal insufficiency following unilateral adrenalectomy are not well defined in the literature. Patients and Methods: We reviewed a case series of 184 consecutive patients to determine the likelihood of steroid supplementation at 30 days and 1 year following adrenalectomy. 109 lesions were non-functional and 75 (41%) demonstrated functionality, including 33 pheochromocytomas, 20 cortisol-producing adenomas, 19 aldosteronomas, and 3 cases of cortisol-secreting hyperplasia. No patients with a nonfunctional lesion, pheochromocytoma, or aldosteronoma required steroid supplementation following surgery. Eleven of 23 patients (48%) with primary adrenal Cushing syndrome required cortisol supplementation at 30 days, and only 1 patient (4%) necessitated supplementation one year following surgery. Discussion: Approximately 50% of patients with cortisol-producing lesions in the adrenal gland will require supplementation 30-days following surgery. Only 4% will require persistent exogenous steroids at 1-year. Conversely, less than 1% of patients with different types of functional or non-functional tumors required supplementation after surgery. Conclusion: The incidence of adrenal insufficiency following unilateral adrenalectomy is low. A large majority of patients requiring steroid supplementation 30 days following surgery are able to wean off this requirement by 1 year. With this information, we can better counsel our patients and set clearer expectations for the potential need of cortisol supplementation following adrenalectomy

Abstract Objective: We describe a case series of patients diagnosed with Primary aortic aneurysm characterized by herald gastrointestinal bleeding, reviewed the literature, aimed to identify and treat such patients without delay, reduce fatality rate.Materials and methods: We reviewed a case series of Primary aortic aneurysm in the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affliated to the Capital Medical University. Each patient was admitted to hospital with gastrointestinal bleeding as main complaint, and was diagnosed by CT or endoscopy. Then characteristics of endoscopy and CT were analyzed. Results: 3 patients were enrolled. In case 1, hematoma was formed after a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, and compression of the hematoma led to ischemic colitis, abdominal pain and hematochezia were the main symptoms. In case 2 and case 3, aortic gastrointestinal fistula were found in the duodenum and esophagus, respectively, abdominal pain, melena and hematochezia were the main symptoms. Conclusion: A timely and accurate diagnosis of Primary aortic aneurysm may be challenging due to insidious episodes of GI bleeding, which are frequently under-diagnosed until the occurrence of massive hemorrhage. Clinical physicians should keep a high index of awareness for Primary aortic aneurysm.

Adrenal Ganglioneuroma

Adrenal Ganglioneuromas are uncommon tumours arising from neural crest cells in posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum. Rarely do they arise from adrenal gland and most of them are incidentally detected and hormonally inactive. Radiologically, they appear as any other adrenal mass, hence histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry plays a major role. With the advent of laparoscopy and robot, outcome of surgical treatment has improved a lot.
