In this case study, medical management with trilostane improved clinical signs and normalized serum chemistry in a dog diagnosed with adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism over 80 weeks of treatment.

This study describes a method to estimate endogenous hormone production by neutralizing an endogenous hormone with an oppositely acting hormone.

In this study, a plasma-fluorescent corticoid test effectively differentiated patients with adrenal insufficiency from those with normal adrenal function based on their response to corticotropin.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

In this case study, the use of somatostatin analogues was effective in localizing and confirming a neuroendocrine lung tumor as the source of ectopic ACTH syndrome, leading to marked clinical improvement in a patient unable to undergo surgery.

This case report describes a domestic shorthaired cat with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism treated with trilostane, which improved clinical signs, but the cat later succumbed to renal failure due to a fungal urinary tract infection.

This case report describes an isolated DHEA-S secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 52-year-old woman who presented without typical hyperandrogenic symptoms.

This article reviews common endocrine neoplasms in domestic ferrets and discusses diagnosis and medical treatment options, reporting no new research findings.

In this report, a 22-year-old woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency underwent treatment with hydrocortisone and spironolactone, followed by feminization surgery, which subsequently led to the development of secondary sexual characteristics and regular menstruation.

This case report describes a 19-month-old girl with androgen-dominant virilization caused by an adrenal tumor, highlighting the importance of adrenal assessment in young girls with such symptoms and recommending long-term monitoring even after initial biochemical remission.

This study describes the case of a Filipino woman with virilisation, where a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumour was identified and removed, normalizing her testosterone levels.

This paper reports a case of sebaceous carcinoma developing at the site of chronic candidiasis in a patient with keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome, without presenting new generalizable findings.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with recurrent cyclic Cushing’s disease whose symptoms improved with metyrapone and hydrocortisone treatment.

This case report details a rare instance of primary adrenal insufficiency as a manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome, with the patient successfully managed through glucocorticoids, warfarin, and hydroxychloroquine.

Men with Addison disease should be screened for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy if they have hair loss.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

This report highlights a case of adrenoleukodystrophy, a rare disease, diagnosed in a young boy with neuropsychiatric symptoms and Addison's disease, stressing the importance of early diagnosis and genetic counseling.

This report describes a rare case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by a pheochromocytoma that unusually co-expresses both ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone.

This report describes an exceptionally rare adrenal neoplasm in a post-menopausal woman that exclusively secreted DHEA-S, with significant serum level reduction following adrenalectomy.

This case report describes a 10-year-old terrier with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism successfully treated with mitotane.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with severe hypercortisolism developed acute adrenal insufficiency after starting ketoconazole treatment, highlighting the need for cautious dosing and close monitoring of adrenal function, particularly in patients with prior glucocorticoid exposure.

This study found that trilostane was effective in resolving symptoms such as polyuria and polydipsia in many dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, with significant hormone level reductions observed.

In this study conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Teaching Hospital in Pakistan, researchers found that preoperative use of finasteride significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss and shortened hospital stay for benign prostatic hyperplasia patients undergoing bipolar TURP, compared to those not receiving finasteride.

This case study observed that unilateral oophorectomy may improve severe hyperandrogenism in adolescents with PCOS, even when imaging and SVS do not indicate neoplasm.

This case study details the successful use of metyrapone to manage severe Cushing’s disease symptoms and stabilize a patient’s biochemical parameters before she underwent pituitary surgery.

This case study suggests that long-term treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid addiction may lead to secondary adrenal insufficiency, warranting further investigation.

In this case report, successful management of a pituitary macroadenoma was achieved with thyroid hormone therapy, leading to reduced tumor size and improvement in symptoms like galactorrhea and headaches.

This case report describes a girl with familial adenomatous polyposis who exhibited heterosexual precocious puberty due to an adrenal tumor secreting cortisol and androgens; after her adrenalectomy, her hormone levels normalized and symptoms improved, illustrating the link between genetic syndromes and endocrine disorders.

This study found trilostane to be an effective and generally safe treatment for improving symptoms in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism.
