[Problems and results of reinterventions on the adrenal gland].
109 cases of surgery on the adrenal glands are reported. 8 cases (7.3%) were reoperated because of relapse. This was Cushing's disease in 5 cases, malignant neuroblastoma in 2 cases and benign pheochromocytoma in 1 case. Only the latter and 1 with Cushing's disease were cured. Reoperation revealed carcinoma in 3 cases of Cushing's disease, though microscopic examination did not show malignancy in the specimen taken at the first operation. In another case microscopic examination again failed to show malignancy, but the patient died from her metastases. 2 cases of malignant neuroblastoma were reoperated for palliation.
