肾上腺髓质增生症的诊断与治疗(附8例报告)

目的提高对肾上腺髓质增生症（AMH）的诊断与治疗水平。方法总结分析 1998年 5月～2002年 5月我院收治的 8例 AMH患者的临床资料。结果 8例患者 CT检查肾上腺均发现异常,术前诊断 AMH 4例,嗜铬细胞瘤 4例。8例均行单侧肾上腺全切除,7例痊愈,1例因对侧有增生,术后1月复发。结论AMH的诊断需与嗜铬细胞瘤鉴别,尤其是定位检查发现有结节时,确诊靠术中探查和病理检查;经腹手术是AMH治疗的主要方法,术中应注意探查双侧肾上腺。

Diagnosis and treatment of adrenal medullary hyperplasia (with report of 8 cases)

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal medullary hyperplasia (AMH). Methods An retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 8 patients with AMH admitted in our hospital from May 1998 to May 2002 were conducted with a review of the follow-up study. Results CT scanning of the adrenal gland showed unilateral abnormal appearance in all 8 cases. Diagnoses of AMH in 4 patients and pheochromocytoma in the other 4 patients were established before surgery. All the patients underwent unilateral adrenalectomy, among whom 7 were cured and 1 suffered recurrence 1 month after operation because of medullar hyperplasia in the contralateral adrenal gland. Conclusions AMH should be differentiated from pheochromocytoma, especially from adrenal nodules shown by catecholamin assay. Definite diagnosis depends on pathological examination and surgical removal through abdominal approach is the best choice of treatment, in which both sides of the adrenal glands should be explored.
