Characterization of Endocrine Glands Involved in Erdheim-Chester Disease

Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging characteristics of endocrine glands involved in Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 48 ECD cases pathologically diagnosed from January 2014 to October 2020 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital,including 22 cases of endocrine gland involvement.The clinical,imaging,and pathological characteristics were summarized. Results Pituitary was involved in 17 cases (17/48,35.4%),adrenal gland in 8 cases (8/48,16.7%),and both pituitary and adrenal gland in 3 cases (3/48,6.25%).The most common symptom in patients with pituitary involvement was central diabetes insipidus (13/17,76.5%),and the T1-weighted imaging showed posterior pituitary hypersignal disappearance,pituitary stalk thickening,and abnormally enhanced pituitary nodules.The most common symptom in patients with adrenal gland involvement was adrenal function reduction (3/8,37.5%),and the CT scanning showed diffuse thickening of adrenal glands.BRAF V600E mutation was positive in 13 (13/22,59.1%) cases with ECD involving endocrine glands.Conclusion Pituitary and adrenal glands are the most common sites of ECD involving endocrine glands.A definite diagnosis can be achieved by combining clinical,imaging,and pathological characteristics for timely treatment.
