 Introduction:- Lecture cum PPT.

discussion
A tumor begins when healthy cells change and
grow out of control, forming a mass. A tumor
can be cancerous or benign. A cancerous
tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and
spread to other parts of the body. A benign
tumor means the tumor can grow but will not
spread. An adrenal gland tumor can sometimes
produce too much of a hormone. When it does,
the tumor is called a “functioning tumor.” An
adrenal gland tumor that does not produce
hormones is called a “nonfunctioning tumor.”

 DEFINITION:- Lecture cum PPT.

discussion
An adrenal adenoma is a benign
(noncancerous) tumor that forms in your
adrenal glands. It's the most common type of
adrenal gland tumor. Most adrenal adenomas
don't produce symptoms or require treatment.
However, some adenomas may cause your
adrenal glands to secrete excess hormones,
like cortisol

 Risk Factors:- Lecture cum PPT.

discussion
People with certain inherited, or hereditary,
conditions have a higher risk of developing an
adrenal gland tumor. People with a high risk of
developing an adrenal gland tumor because of their
family history should be examined and evaluated by
their doctor every year. Hereditary conditions that
raise risk of adrenal gland tumors are:

 Multiple endocrine neoplasia type

2 (MEN2)
 Li-Fraumeni syndrome
 Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome
 Neurofibromatosis type 1
 Carney complex
 Succinate dehydrogenase mutations

 ETIOLOGY:- Lecture cum PPT.

discussion
 Researchers don’t know exactly why some
people develop cancerous adrenal tumors.
People born with certain genetic conditions
have a higher risk of the disease.
 Gene mutations (changes) can also occur
spontaneously, without being inherited.
Experts don't fully understand how genetic
changes that cause adrenocortical
carcinoma occur.

 SIGN AND SYMPTOM:- Lecture cum PPT.

discussion
Adrenal tumors cause symptoms in two ways:
 A functioning ACC can cause symptoms related
to the overproduction of hormones.
 If the adrenal tumor grows large enough, it may
press on nearby organs. This pressure can cause
pain or other symptoms.
Depending on the cause, symptoms of
adrenocortical carcinoma may include:
 Abdominal (belly) pain.
 Breast enlargement in boys or men
(gynecomastia).
 Early puberty in boys or girls.
 Growth of excess facial or body hair in women.
 High blood pressure.
 High blood sugar.
 Weight gain in the face, neck and trunk (but not
arms and legs)

 DAIGNOSTIC TEST:- Lecture cum PPT.

discussion
Your healthcare provider will start with a physical
exam and ask about any symptoms you’re
experiencing. If your symptoms point to adrenal
cancer, you may have:

 Imaging tests, such as MRI, CT scan or PET

scan to look for tumors.
 Blood and urine tests to check hormone
levels.
 A dexamethasone suppression test to
measure cortisol levels.
 Biopsy to determine if a tumor is cancerous

 TREATMENT:- Lecture cum PPT.

discussion
1. Therapies using medication:-
 Hormone therapy
 Chemotherapy
2. Radiation therapy:-
Radiation therapy is the use of high
energy x-rays or other particles to
destroy tumor cells. A doctor who
specializes in giving radiation therapy
to treat a tumor is called a radiation
oncologist. In very rare cases, adrenal
gland tumors require radiation therapy.
3. Surgery :- surgery is the removal of
the tumor and, if necessary, some
surrounding healthy tissue during an
operation. A surgical endocrinologist is
a surgeon who specializes in treating
an endocrine tumor using surgery.

4. Physical, emotional, and social Lecture cum PPT.

effects:- discussion

A tumor and its treatment cause

physical symptoms and side effects, as
well as emotional, social, and financial
effects. Managing all of these effects is
called palliative care or supportive
care. It is an important part of your
care that is included along with
treatments intended to slow, stop, or
eliminate the tumor.
