One thing that has interested me in relation to adrenal neoplasia
is a report a while back of Australia suddenly having a pocket of
them. Now, that could mean all sorts of things from not noticing
it before and on to who-knows-what, but one thing it might
indicate could be the introduction of such a viral component.
Some of these things are just so complex, with possibly many
components or alternative components.
