AbstractAbstract PDF
We report here on a rare case of adrenal paragonimiasis that presented with an adrenal incidentaloma. A 52-year-old male presented with fatigue and weight loss. The laboratory findings revealed eosinophilia (8.5%) and an increased eosinophil count (910/microL). The computed tomography scan showed 6.5 x 5 cm sized multilocular cystic mass in the right adrenal gland, which was non-functioning, and cystic lesions with variable sizes were also noted in the abdominal cavity. On the surgical field, whitish patches were spread out in the peritoneum, the omentum, the dome of the liver and the diaphragm. The right adrenal gland was replaced by a cystic mass filled with mucopurulent creamy materials. The pathologic findings revealed numerous eggs of Paragonimus spp. Also, the ELISA was positive for IgG paragonimus antibody. The adrenal gland can become infected by various microbial pathogens, including parasites, although it is relatively uncommon. However, in the case of a cystic adrenal mass with accompanying eosinophilia in an endemic area, clinicians should consider the possibility of parasitic infection.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Hypercalcemia is often observed in cancer patients secondary to parathyroid hormone (PTH) related peptide production. However, primary hyperparathyroidism and colon cancer rarely present simultaneously. Calcium is believed to have a chemopreventive effect against colorectal cancer because it reduces crypt cell hyperproliferation in both humans and in animals. There is evidence to suggest that the incidence of colorectal cancer in humans is reduced by high calcium intake. In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, increased PTH activates 1,25(OH)2D and enhances calcium absorption in the gut. Consequently, the calcium level in the lumen is decreased, leading to an elevated risk of colorectal cancer. We report two patients with colon cancer and hypercalcemia secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism, along with a brief review of the literature.
