Summary
We describe a case of a growing adrenal mass, identified via computed tomography (CT), which was pathologically confirmed to be an adrenal abscess. This finding highlights a rare cause of adrenal enlargement.
Area of Science:
- Adrenal gland pathology
- Abdominal imaging
- Surgical oncology
Background:
- Adrenal masses can present with diverse etiologies, ranging from benign adenomas to malignant neoplasms.
- Adrenal abscesses are rare clinical entities, often presenting as rapidly enlarging masses.
- Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in characterizing adrenal lesions and guiding management.
