Specific characteristics of metabolomics as assessed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in patients with adrenocortical cancer and with adrenal incidentalomas in congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Abstract: Background: Prolonged episodes of uncontrolled congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have been shown to result in the occurrence of secondary adrenal neoplasms. Prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas in the patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency ranges from 11% to 82%. As assessed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), patients with adrenocortical cancer (ACC) have increased level of steroid hormone precursors due to decreased activity of adrenal steroidogenesis enzymes, mainly that of 21-hydroxylase a… Show more
