note[edit]

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose to merge Adrenal adenoma into this article. The articles overlap in definition and content. Adrenocortical adenoma seems to be the standard name according to the identifiers in the infobox. --Tilifa Ocaufa (talk) 03:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My own Adrenocortical Adenoma removed from my body[edit]

"Incidental large adrenal mass. Non-functional. Surgical excision.

MICROSCOPY

specimen labelled left adrenal tumor consists of an unorientated round tumoral mass which has a yellow surface. The lesion has a focal surgical incision within the capsule.

The specimen measures 165 by 120 by 110 millimetres and weighs 1171 grams.

Cut surface reveals a solid yellow tumor with multiple foci of heamorrhage. Adjacent normal adrenal gland is present.

MICROSCOPY Sections of the excision a show a circumscribed and encapsulated tumour, arising from the adrenal gland. The tumor is composed of sheets of cells which show cytoplasm, varying from deeply eosinoplhilic to clear and vacuolated. The cells are arranged in sheets, with interspersed small blood vessels. No nested architectural pattern is noted.

The neoplastic cells show mild to moderate nuclear pleomorphism and enlargement (endocrine atypia). No mitotic activity is apparent in the submitted sample. There is no evidence of vascular Invasion. There is no evidence of necrosis, capsular Invasion or abnormal mitotic figures. The non-neoplastic adrenal gland is unremarkable. The tumor is clear of inked resection margins."

I will be so very grateful if someone can give me an idea what causes above condition, what I can change to prevent it from happening again. I have a video of it (looks like the size of small rugby ball) being removed from my abdomen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aprilschild (talk • contribs) 09:26, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Aprilschild: Please see WP:NOMEDICAL. We're not doctors - if you would like medical advice, I can advise you see a doctor. If you've had surgery it seems like you're already in contact with medical professionals: speak to them! -- a. ^{spam | contribs} 17:29, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
