The kidney is a rare site of ectopic adrenal adenoma. To the best of our knowledge, some cases of ectopic adrenal adenoma have been found in the kidney, but few of these cases explain the CT and MRI findings of the lesion. We reported a case of ectopic adrenal adenoma in the left renal sinus. A 47-year-old male patient underwent abdominal CT for routine health check-ups, which revealed a 1.2 cm enhancing mass in the left renal sinus. The MRI showed a signal drop of the mass in T1 weighted in- and opposed-phase, which indicates fat components. The mass was confirmed as an ectopic adrenal adenoma after surgery.
肾脏是异位肾上腺腺瘤的罕见部位。据我们所知,已有一些肾脏异位肾上腺腺瘤的病例被发现,但其中很少有病例能解释该病变的CT和MRI表现。我们报告了一例位于左肾窦的异位肾上腺腺瘤病例。一名47岁男性患者因常规健康检查接受腹部CT检查,结果显示左肾窦有一个1.2 cm的强化肿块。MRI显示该肿块在T1加权同相位和反相位成像中信号下降,提示存在脂肪成分。手术后,该肿块被确诊为异位肾上腺腺瘤。
