Bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (BMAH) is typically a computed tomography (CT)-based diagnosis. Patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) may present with normal-appearing adrenal glands, solitary adrenal adenomas, or…
Adrenal myelolipomas are benign, hormonally inactive neoplasms composed of myeloid elements and mature adipose tissue in varying proportions. Unilateral adrenal myelolipomas are uncommon (see Case 65), and bilateral adrenal myelolipomas…
Lipid-poor adrenal masses are the landmines of adrenal disorders. Although lipid-poor adrenal masses may be benign nonfunctional cortical adenomas, it can be difficult to make the distinction from more concerning…
Bilateral adrenal metastases should be suspected in any case of the rapidly enlarging indeterminate bilateral adrenal masses, even in the absence of a known extraadrenal malignancy. Although otherwise rarely needed…
Neuroblastomas are heterogeneous neuroblastic tumors that occur almost exclusively in childhood. Most neuroblastomas occur in the abdomen, usually in the adrenal gland. Catecholamine secretion may occur in approximately 70% of…
Primary adrenal lymphoma is rare and typically presents in older men with progressive signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, weight loss, and abdominal pain. , Computed cross-sectional imaging usually reveals…
Lipid-poor adrenal masses raise concerns about the underlying pathology. Herein we present a case of a patient with a lipid-poor adrenal mass that proved to be a rare adrenal leiomyosarcoma….
Composite adrenal tumors occur in approximately 4% of adrenal tumors. Imaging characteristics may be suggestive of different tumor etiologies or present as one heterogeneous adrenal mass. Assessment of malignancy potential…
Adrenal ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor that is characterized by ganglion cells individually distributed in Schwannian stroma. Adrenal ganglioneuroma is found in approximately 2% of adrenalectomies. The unique imaging…
Lipid-poor adrenal masses raise concerns about the underlying pathology, especially in young people. Herein we present a case of a lipid-poor adrenal mass in a 22-year-old woman that proved to…
