Adrenal Imaging with MDCT: Nonneoplastic Disease

¹ All authors: The Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiologic Science, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, 601 N Caroline St., Rm. 3140D, Baltimore, MD 21287.

OBJECTIVE. The adrenal gland can enlarge or alter morphology in the presence of a range of nonneoplastic entities, including hyperplasia, hemorrhage, infection, or cystic mass. This article presents a description and representative CT images for each of these disorders.

CONCLUSION. Proper characterization is essential to ensure that life-threatening sequelae from Addisonian crisis are averted in infection and hemorrhage, or to identify "leave-alone" lesions such as pseudocyst and chronic calcification.

Keywords: adrenal gland • adrenal hyperplasia • hemorrhage • infection • MDCT • pseudocyst
