Imaging results of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patients with Cushing’s syndrome.

Patient ID Pituitary Imaging Adrenal Imaging Other
Cushing's Disease Group
1 Heterogeneous enlarged pituitary 12 X 12 X 15 mm Normal ND
2 Neg ND ND
3 Neg 6 mm nodule; left adrenal ND
4 Neg Bilateral adrenal hyperplasia; possible nodular hyperplasia of right adrenal ND
5 NA NA ND
6 Pituitary macroadenoma, with central necrosis, growing into left sphenoid sinus Normal Mass in pancreatic head
7 Multiple hypo-enhancing lesions on left, largest 4 mm; stalk deviation to right 2 cm left adrenal nodule 2 hepatic masses (a)
8 Neg Bilateral adrenal hyperplasia Right renal mass (b)
9 2–3 mm hypo-enhancing lesion on left Right adrenal nodule left adrenal thickening None
10 Fullness on right, no focal lesion. ND 3 cm pancreatic mass
11 5–6 mm hypointense lesion on left 3 cm left adrenal nodule None
ACTH-independent Cushing's, Adrenal Tumor Group
12 Neg 4 X 6 cm right adrenal mass None

Cushing's Syndrome from Unknown Etiology Group
15 Neg ( c) NA (d) NA (d)
16 6 mm lesion on right NA (d) NA (d)
17 Poorly defined lesion on right Enlarged, nodular left adrenal Neg chest CT
18 2–3 mm asymmetry on left Slight bilateral hyperplasia Multiple pulmonary nodules; small lesion in pancreatic tail
19 Neg Diffuse bilateral nodular enlargement Left pulm nodule vs. granuloma
(a)

masses were surgically confirmed hepatic adenomas.

(b)

renal mass was confirmed surgically to be an angiomyolipoma.

(c)

sella turcica imaging studies (c. 1971) normal at an outside institution.

(d)

imaging studies while patient with Cushing’s syndrome performed prior to NIH evaluation and results not available.
