CT findings in Addison's disease

J L Doppman, J R Gill, A W Nienhuis

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |August 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) reveals distinct adrenal gland changes in various conditions. Findings range from small remnants in adrenal atrophy to calcification in tuberculosis and enlarged glands in histoplasmosis, aiding diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Adrenal cortical reserve depletion can result from various pathologies.
    • Accurate diagnosis relies on identifying characteristic imaging findings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate computed tomographic (CT) findings in patients with depleted adrenal cortical reserve.
    • To correlate CT features with specific adrenal conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from five patients with adrenal insufficiency.
    • Review of clinical and pathological data for each patient.

    Main Results:

    • Idiopathic adrenal atrophy showed small bilateral adrenal remnants.
    • Tuberculosis presented with dense adrenal calcification and absent glandular tissue.
    • Active histoplasmosis revealed enlarged, nonhomogeneous adrenal glands with normal contour.

    Conclusions:

    • CT imaging provides valuable clues for diagnosing adrenal pathologies.
    • Distinct CT patterns can help differentiate adrenal atrophy, tuberculosis, and histoplasmosis.
    • Enlarged, nonhomogeneous adrenal glands in histoplasmosis may aid in distinguishing from adrenal tumors.
