Fournier gangrene

Discussion:

Fournier gangrene is a surgical emergency with a mortality rate of approximately 33%. Imaging with CT is usually not required for diagnostic purposes, but to determine the extent of the disease, especially for retroperitoneal involvement. 

The adrenal lesion is most compatible with an adrenal myelolipoma. The lesion measures in excess of 4cm and is therefore at risk for spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage.
