Adrenal masses found incidentally are common but hard to characterize. This article reviews imaging findings and techniques for evaluating these adrenal masses.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Adrenal masses are frequently discovered incidentally during imaging for other conditions.
  • Accurate characterization of these incidental adrenal masses is often challenging due to a lack of distinct imaging features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the imaging findings associated with incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
  • To outline the roles of various current imaging techniques in the evaluation of these masses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging findings from various modalities used for adrenal mass evaluation.
  • Discussion of the diagnostic utility and limitations of each imaging technique.

Main Results:

  • Imaging findings for adrenal masses can be variable and often non-specific.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Different imaging techniques offer complementary information for characterizing adrenal masses.

    • Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive approach utilizing multiple imaging modalities is essential for the effective evaluation of incidental adrenal masses.
    • Understanding imaging characteristics aids in differentiating benign from potentially malignant adrenal lesions.
