Abstract

Adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare and aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. Cases usually present with signs and symptoms of excessive hormone production. Hyperglycemia and Cushing syndrome are common, but tumor-associated hypoglycemia due to paraneoplastic secretion of insulin-like growth factor-2 (termed Anderson's syndrome) is uncommon. Given the rarity of adrenal cortical carcinoma, diagnosis and management of associated complications is challenging. In this study, we present a case of metastatic adrenal cortical carcinoma with a myriad of hormonal abnormalities. We will also briefly review literature regarding genetic association, pathophysiology, treatment options, and prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the common endocrinopathy noted in women of childbearing age groups. Patients with PCOS have increased cardiovascular risk factors compared with age-matched control; hence, these patients are believed to be at an increased risk for cardiovascular events. Here, we report a case of a young female with PCOS, who presented with atypical back pain in the thoracic region. Initially, her electrocardiogram (EKG) and troponin were normal; hence, it was thought to be a muscle spasm but the back pain continued; repeat EKG and troponin came abnormal suggestive of myocardial infarction (MI). The patient underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention and was discharged on dual antiplatelet therapy. MI is common in patients with PCOS. MI is the most important differential diagnosis in any patients of PCOS presenting with chest pain or back pain. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of MI in patients with PCOS prevent adverse outcomes., Competing Interests: This case abstract was accepted for ENDO 2020 and got published in Journal of Endocrine Society.
