Metástasis suprarrenal de sarcoma de ewing. a propósito de un caso

Abstract

Adrenal metastases are more frequent than primary adrenal carcinoma. The most frequent are, in this order: breast and lung cancer, stomach and kidney carcinomas, adrenal gland contralateral tumors and melanoma. Less frequent are tumours of the bladder, colon, esophagus, gall bladder, liver, pancreas, prostate, stomach and uterus. The rest of the tumours rarely spread toward adrenal glands. The metastases to the adrenal glands caused by sarcomas are rare and normally they happen in the contest of a massive metastases affecting several organs at the same time. We present a case of a patient affected by adrenal metastases of Ewing's sarcoma who has been referred to us for surgical treatment because it is a unique metastases (there is no sing of more illnesses in other organs at the time of the exploration).

Unusual asymptomatic fluorodeoxyglucose avid pheochromocytoma in a case of myxoid liposarcoma of the extremity on 18-F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography

“…[3] However, isolated cases of adrenal metastasis without disseminated disease have been reported in the literature. [45] Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors of neuroectodermal origin arising from adrenal gland, and most tumors demonstrate uptake of 18 -F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Enhanced FDG uptake mimicking metastasis has been reported in benign pheochromocytomas without any correlation with catecholamine levels.…”
