Endocrine tumors require specialized expertise to diagnose and manage. From adrenal incidentalomas discovered on routine imaging to pituitary adenomas causing hormonal excess, these conditions need an endocrinologist who understands the full hormonal cascade. Dr. Marie Noelle Kallas Chemaly evaluates and manages endocrine tumors with coordinated, multidisciplinary care — from initial hormonal workup through treatment and long-term surveillance.
Workup and management of adrenal incidentalomas, adenomas, pheochromocytomas, and functioning adrenal tumors. Hormonal testing to determine if the tumor is producing excess cortisol, aldosterone, or catecholamines.
Diagnosis and treatment of pituitary tumors including prolactinomas, growth hormone-secreting tumors, ACTH-producing tumors, and non-functioning adenomas.
Comprehensive cortisol testing and diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome from adrenal, pituitary, or ectopic sources. One of the most challenging diagnoses in endocrinology.
Long-term monitoring and coordinated multidisciplinary care for patients with neuroendocrine tumors across the endocrine system.
An adrenal incidentaloma is a mass found on the adrenal gland during imaging done for another reason. Most are benign and non-functioning, but all require hormonal evaluation to rule out cortisol, aldosterone, or catecholamine excess, and imaging follow-up to monitor growth.
Cushing's syndrome symptoms include weight gain (especially in the face and abdomen), thin skin that bruises easily, purple stretch marks, muscle weakness, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure. Diagnosis requires specialized cortisol testing.
A prolactinoma is a benign pituitary tumor that produces excess prolactin. It can cause irregular periods, milk discharge from the breasts, infertility in women, and low testosterone in men. Most prolactinomas respond well to medication.
