Examiner's note: In 30 years of PYQ, prognostic factors of carcinoma breast has appeared in EVERY cycle with different exam codes (F23 RS4, J13 RS3, D16 RS3, J19 RS3, S21 RS3, J02, J09, D15, D16). It is statistically the single highest-yield 5-marker in this chapter. Write a structured answer covering: lymph node status, tumor size, histological grade (Nottingham), hormone receptor status (ER/PR), Her2/neu, lymphovascular invasion, and age/menopausal status.

Medical education flowchart for MBBS university exam 5 marks question. Title: ADDISON DISEASE (Primary Chronic Adrenocortical Insufficiency). Clean professional medical diagram on white background with color coded sections. TOP BOX - DEFINITION (navy blue banner): Chronic progressive destruction of adrenal cortex leading to decreased glucocorticoids AND mineralocorticoids with compensatory increase in ACTH. Manifestations appear only after more than 90 percent of adrenal cortex is destroyed. SECTION 1 - ETIOLOGY box (red-orange, left side): Bold header: CAUSES Number 1: AUTOIMMUNE ADRENALITIS - most common cause in developed countries, accounts for more than 90 percent of cases Number 2: TUBERCULOSIS - most common cause in developing countries, adrenals large and calcified on CT Number 3: AIDS and other fungal infections - Histoplasma capsulatum, Coccidioides immitis Number 4: METASTATIC CARCINOMA - lung and breast carcinoma to adrenals Number 5: Amyloidosis, Sarcoidosis, Hemochromatosis Center arrow down labeled RESULTS IN SECTION 2 - PATHOGENESIS flow (orange arrows in middle): Destruction of adrenal cortex Arrow down to: LOW CORTISOL plus LOW ALDOSTERONE plus LOW ANDROGENS Arrow down to: NEGATIVE FEEDBACK REMOVED Arrow down to: INCREASED ACTH from pituitary (stimulates melanocytes causing hyperpigmentation) SECTION 3 - CLINICAL FEATURES box (green, right side): Bold header: CLINICAL FEATURES 1. Nonspecific: Progressive weakness, fatigue, tiredness, anorexia 2. GIT: Nausea, vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea 3. HYPERPIGMENTATION: Skin and mucosal surfaces, due to high ACTH, KEY distinguishing feature of PRIMARY disease, buccal mucosa, skin creases, pressure points 4. ELECTROLYTE DISTURBANCES: Low aldosterone causes hyperkalemia and hyponatremia and volume depletion and hypotension BP 80/50 mmHg 5. HYPOGLYCEMIA: Loss of gluconeogenesis due to cortisol deficiency SECTION 4 - LAB FINDINGS box (purple): Increased plasma ACTH Short and prolonged ACTH stimulation test: NO INCREASE in serum cortisol Hyponatremia and Hyperkalemia Anemia Increased BUN and creatinine azotemia Fasting hypoglycemia SECTION 5 - PRIMARY vs SECONDARY comparison (blue): PRIMARY Addison: Low cortisol, Low aldosterone, HIGH ACTH, HYPERPIGMENTATION present SECONDARY: Low cortisol, NORMAL aldosterone, Low ACTH, NO hyperpigmentation Bottom box - INVESTIGATIONS: CT/MRI adrenals - small in autoimmune, large and calcified in TB Clean arrows connecting all sections, bold labels, white background, medical textbook quality, MBBS 5-mark answer ready

| Cause | Details |
|---|---|
| Autoimmune adrenalitis | Most common in developed countries (>90% cases) |
| Tuberculosis | Most common in developing countries; adrenals large and calcified on CT |
| AIDS / Fungal infections | Histoplasma capsulatum, Coccidioides immitis |
| Metastatic carcinoma | Carcinoma of lung and breast to adrenals |
| Others | Amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis |
Progressive destruction of adrenal cortex
β
β Cortisol + β Aldosterone + β Androgens
β

β
ββ ACTH secretion from anterior pituitary
β

| Feature | Primary (Addison) | Secondary |
|---|---|---|
| Cortisol | β | β |
| Aldosterone | β | Normal |
| ACTH | ββ (HIGH) | β (LOW) |
| Hyperpigmentation | PRESENT | ABSENT |
| Electrolyte disturbance | Yes (hyperK, hypoNa) | Minimal |
| Response to exogenous ACTH | NO response | Responds |
Examiner tip: The 3 most important points for a 5-marker are: (1) Autoimmune is #1 cause, (2) Hyperpigmentation is due to HIGH ACTH stimulating melanocytes - only in PRIMARY, (3) ACTH stimulation test shows NO cortisol rise in primary Addison. These 3 concepts differentiate Addison from all other adrenal conditions.

| Feature | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Weakness, fatigue, anorexia | β Cortisol |
| Nausea, vomiting, weight loss | GI disturbance |
| Hyperpigmentation of skin + mucosa | β ACTH stimulates melanocytes - PRIMARY only |
| Hypotension (BP ~80/50 mmHg) | β Aldosterone β Na loss, volume depletion |
| Hyperkalemia | β Aldosterone β K retention |
| Hyponatremia | Na loss in urine |
| Hypoglycemia | β Cortisol β β gluconeogenesis |
| Feature | Primary (Addison) | Secondary |
|---|---|---|
| Cortisol | β | β |
| Aldosterone | β | Normal |
| ACTH | ββ HIGH | β LOW |
| Hyperpigmentation | YES | NO |
| Hyperkalemia/Hyponatremia | Yes | Minimal |
| ACTH stimulation test | No response | Responds |
Top 3 exam points:
- Hyperpigmentation = HIGH ACTH stimulating melanocytes = PRIMARY only
- ACTH stimulation test = No cortisol response = confirms Addison
- Autoimmune = #1 cause; TB = #1 in developing countries
