PDFAbstract
Objective To evaluate the CT and MRI features of rare adrenal neoplasms and to improve the diagnostic ability performance. Methods Clinical, CT and MRI materials were retrospectively reviewed in 27 patients with rare adrenal neoplasms proved by surgical pathology. CT scan was performed in 22 cases, and CT enhancement scan was performed in 17 cases; MRI plain and enhancement scan was completed in 3 cases; CT and MRI scans were performed in 2 cases. Results There were myelolipoma in 10 cases, endothelial cysts in 5 cases. Cystic adrenal lymphangioma, lipoma, ganglioneuroma, and adenocarcinoma had 2 cases for each; Teratoma, neurofibroma, neuroblastoma, and lymphoma had 1 case for each. The CT and MRI characteristics (such as size, shape, density or signal, and enhancement feature) of rare adrenal neoplasms can discriminate rare adrenal neoplasms. Conclusion CT and MRI findings of rare adrenal neoplasms showed certain characteristics, which were contributed to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis. [Key words]
