bookPart Síndromes endócrinas neoplásicas e paraneoplásicas(2022) JúNIOR, Delmar Muniz Lourenço; HOFF, Ana Amélia Fialho de Oliveira; ALMEIDA, Madson Queiroz de- Cytoreductive Surgery of the Primary Tumor in Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma: Impact on Patients' Survival(2022) SROUGI, Victor; BANCOS, Irina; DAHER, Marilyne; LEE, Jeffrey E.; GRAHAM, Paul H.; KARAM, Jose A.; HENRIQUEZ, Andres; MCKENZIE, Travis J.; SADA, Alaa; BOURDEAU, Isabelle; POIRIER, Jonathan; VAIDYA, Anand; ABBONDANZA, Tiffany; KIERNAN, Colleen M.; RAO, Sarika N.; HAMIDI, Oksana; SACHITHANANDAN, Nirupa; HOFF, Ana O.; CHAMBO, Jose L.; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.; HABRA, Mouhammed Amir; V, Maria C. B. FragosoContext The role of cytoreduction of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) remains poorly understood. Objective To analyze the impact of cytoreductive surgery of the primary tumor in patients with metastatic ACC. Design and Setting We performed a multicentric, retrospective paired cohort study comparing the overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic ACC who were treated either with cytoreductive surgery (CR group) or without cytoreductive surgery (no-CR group) of the primary tumor. Data were retrieved from 9 referral centers in the American-Australian-Asian Adrenal Alliance collaborative research group. Patients Patients aged >= 18 years with metastatic ACC at initial presentation who were treated between January 1, 1995, and May 31, 2019. Intervention Performance (or not) of cytoreductive surgery of the primary tumor. Main outcome and measures A propensity score match was done using age and the number of organs with metastasis (<= 2 or >2). The main outcome was OS, determined from the date of diagnosis until death or until last follow-up for living patients. Results Of 339 patients pooled, 239 were paired and included: 128 in the CR group and 111 in the no-CR group. The mean follow-up was 67 months. Patients in the no-CR group had greater risk of death than did patients in the CR group (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.18; 95% CI, 2.34-4.32). Independent predictors of survival included age (HR = 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00-1.03), hormone excess (HR = 2.56; 95% CI, 1.66-3.92), and local metastasis therapy (HR = 0.41; 95% CI, 0.47-0.65). Conclusion Cytoreductive surgery of the primary tumor in patients with metastatic ACC is associated with prolonged survival.
- Retrospective Analysis of Prognostic Factors in Pediatric Patients with Adrenocortical Tumor from Unique Tertiary Center with Long-Term Follow-Up(2022) BACHEGA, Fernanda S.; V, Caio Suartz; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.; BRONDANI, Vania B.; CHARCHAR, Helaine L. S.; LACOMBE, Amanda M. F.; MARTINS-FILHO, Sebastiao N.; SOARES, Ibere C.; ZERBINI, Maria Claudia N.; DENES, Francisco T.; MENDONCA, Berenice; I, Roberto Lopes; LATRONICO, Ana Claudia; V, Maria Candida B. FragosoPediatric adrenocortical tumors (PACTs) represent rare causes of malignancies. However, the south/southeast regions of Brazil are known to have a high incidence of PACTs because of the founder effect associated with a germline pathogenic variant of tumor suppressor gene TP53. We aimed to retrospectively analyze the types of variables among hormone production, radiological imaging, tumor staging, histological and genetic features that were associated with the occurrence of malignancy in 95 patients (71% females) with PACTs from a unique center. The worst prognosis was associated with those aged > 3 years (p < 0.05), high serum levels of 11-desoxicortisol (p < 0.001), tumor weight >= 200 g (p < 0.001), tumor size >= 5 cm (p < 0.05), Weiss score >= 5 (p < 0.05), Wieneke index >= 3 (p < 0.001) and Ki67 >= 15% (p < 0.05). Furthermore, patients with MacFarlane stage IV had an overall survival rate almost two times shorter than patients with other stages (p < 0.001). Additionally, the subtractions of BUB1B-PINK1 (<6.95) expression (p < 0.05) and IGF-IR overexpression (p = 0.0001) were associated with malignant behavior. These results helped identify patients who are likely to have an aggressive course; further multicenter prospective studies are required to confirm our results. In conclusion, PACTs with these patterns of prognostic factors could be treated using an adjuvant approach that may improve the overall survival in such patients.
- Perioperative Management of Pheochromocytomas and Sympathetic Paragangliomas(2022) FAGUNDES, Gustavo F. C.; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia, respectively. PPGLs have the highest degree of heritability among endocrine tumors. Currently, similar to 40% of individuals with PPGLs have a genetic germline and there are at least 12 different genetic syndromes related to these tumors. Metastatic PPGLs are defined by the presence of distant metastases at sites where chromaffin cells are physiologically absent. Approximately 10% of pheochromocytomas and similar to 40% of sympathetic paragangliomas are linked to metastases, explaining why complete surgical resection is the first-choice treatment for all PPGL patients. The surgical approach is a high-risk procedure requiring perioperative management by a specialized multidisciplinary team in centers with broad expertise. In this review, we summarize and discuss the most relevant aspects of perioperative management in patients with pheochromocytomas and sympathetic paragangliomas.
- Pathogenesis of Primary Aldosteronism: Impact on Clinical Outcome(2022) SANTANA, Lucas S.; GUIMARAES, Augusto G.; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common form of secondary arterial hypertension, with a prevalence of approximately 20% in patients with resistant hypertension. In the last decade, somatic pathogenic variants in KCNJ5, CACNA1D, ATP1A1 and ATP2B3 genes, which are involved in maintaining intracellular ionic homeostasis and cell membrane potential, were described in aldosterone-producing adenomas (aldosteronomas). All variants in these genes lead to the activation of calcium signaling, the major trigger for aldosterone production. Genetic causes of familial hyperaldosteronism have been expanded through the report of germline pathogenic variants in KCNJ5, CACNA1H and CLCN2 genes. Moreover, PDE2A and PDE3B variants were associated with bilateral PA and increased the spectrum of genetic etiologies of PA. Of great importance, the genetic investigation of adrenal lesions guided by the CYP11B2 staining strongly changed the landscape of somatic genetic findings of PA. Furthermore, CYP11B2 staining allowed the better characterization of the aldosterone-producing adrenal lesions in unilateral PA. Aldosterone production may occur from multiple sources, such as solitary aldosteronoma or aldosterone-producing nodule (classical histopathology) or clusters of autonomous aldosterone-producing cells without apparent neoplasia denominated aldosterone-producing micronodules (non-classical histopathology). Interestingly, KCNJ5 mutational status and classical histopathology of unilateral PA (aldosteronoma) have emerged as relevant predictors of clinical and biochemical outcome, respectively. In this review, we summarize the most recent advances in the pathogenesis of PA and discuss their impact on clinical outcome.
bookPart Imagens(2022) MARUI, Suemi; ALMEIDA, Madson Queiroz de; GLEZER, Andrea- Primary Adrenal Insufficiency Due to Bilateral Adrenal Infarction in COVID-19(2022) MACHADO, Iza F. R.; MENEZES, Isabel Q.; FIGUEIREDO, Sabrina R.; COELHO, Fernando M. A.; TERRABUIO, Debora R. B.; V, Davi Ramos; FAGUNDES, Gustavo F. C.; MACIEL, Ana Alice W.; LATRONICO, Ana Claudia; V, Maria Candida B. Fragoso; CANCADO, Eduardo L. R.; MENDONCA, Berenice B.; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.Context: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a proinflammatory and prothrombotic condition, but its impact on adrenal function has not been adequately evaluated. Case report: A 46-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, hypotension, and skin hyperpigmentation after COVID-19 infection. The patient had hyponatremia, serum cortisol <1.0 mu g/dL, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) of 807 pg/mL, and aldosterone <3 ng/dL. Computed tomography (CT) findings of adrenal enlargement with no parenchymal and minimal peripheral capsular enhancement after contrast were consistent with bilateral adrenal infarction. The patient had autoimmune hepatitis and positive antiphospholipid antibodies, but no previous thrombotic events. The patient was treated with intravenous hydrocortisone, followed by oral hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone. Discussion: We identified 9 articles, including case reports, of new-onset adrenal insufficiency and/or adrenal hemorrhage/infarction on CT in COVID-19. Adrenal insufficiency was hormonally diagnosed in 5 cases, but ACTH levels were measured in only 3 cases (high in 1 case and normal/low in other 2 cases). Bilateral adrenal nonhemorrhagic or hemorrhagic infarction was identified in 5 reports (2 had adrenal insufficiency, 2 had normal cortisol levels, and 1 case had no data). Interestingly, the only case with well-characterized new-onset acute primary adrenal insufficiency after COVID-19 had a previous diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. In our case, antiphospholipid syndrome diagnosis was established only after the adrenal infarction triggered by COVID-19. Conclusion: Our findings support the association between bilateral adrenal infarction and antiphospholipid syndrome triggered by COVID-19. Therefore, patients with positive antiphospholipid antibodies should be closely monitored for symptoms or signs of acute adrenal insufficiency during COVID-19.

Christofer; CALISSENDORFF, Jan; COHEN, Debbie L.; BENNETT, Bonita; ANDERSEN, Marianne Skovsager; LARSSON, Catharina; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.; FISHBEIN, Lauren; BOORJIAN, Stephen A.; YOUNG JR., William F.; BANCOS, IrinaContext Urinary bladder paraganglioma (UBPGL) is rare. Objective We aimed to characterize the presentation and outcomes of patients diagnosed with UBPGL. Methods We conducted a multicenter study of consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed UBPGL evaluated between 1971 and 2021. Outcomes included repeat bladder surgery, metastases, and disease-specific mortality. Results Patients (n=110 total; n=56 [51%] women) were diagnosed with UBPGL at a median age of 50 years (interquartile range [IQR], 36-61 years). Median tumor size was 2 cm (IQR, 1-4 cm). UBPGL was diagnosed prior to biopsy in only 37 (34%), and only 69 (63%) patients had evaluation for catecholamine excess. In addition to the initial bladder surgery, 26 (25%) required multiple therapies, including repeat surgery in 10 (9%). Synchronous metastases were present in 9 (8%) patients, and 24 (22%) other patients with UBPGL developed metachronous metastases at a median of 4 years (IQR, 2-10 years) after the initial diagnosis. Development of metachronous metastases was associated with younger age (hazard ratio [HR] 0.97; 95% CI, 0.94-0.99), UBPGL size (HR 1.69; 95% CI, 1.31-2.17), and a higher degree of catecholamine excess (HR 5.48; 95% CI, 1.40-21.39). Disease-specific mortality was higher in patients with synchronous metastases (HR 20.80; 95% CI, 1.30-332.91). Choice of initial surgery, genetic association, sex, or presence of muscular involvement on pathology were not associated with development of metastases or mortality. Conclusions Only a minority of patients were diagnosed before biopsy/surgery, reflecting need for better diagnostic strategies. All patients with UBPGL should have lifelong monitoring for development of recurrence and metastases.
