Presentation
Incidental finding.
Patient Data
Age: 60 years
Gender: Female
From the case:
Adrenal adenoma
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/11268/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
CT demonstrates a small right sided adrenal mass tucked in between the IVC, kidney, liver and vertebral column. It is well circumscribed and of low density on pre-contrast imaging (6 HU). Following administration of contrast, it enhances to a maximum of 60 HU during portal venous phase, and then washes out to 27 HU on delayed imaging.
From the case:
Adrenal adenoma
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/11269/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
MRI confirms the abnormality and also confirms signal drop out on out of phase T1 imaging.
Case Discussion
Features are characteristic of an adrenal adenoma on both CT and MRI.
