[Adrenal masses--diagnostic ranking of methods].

The ultrasonographic, computertomographic and angiographic findings of 87 patients with adrenal tumours were analysed retrospectively. Histologically, 16 adrenal adenomas, 6 carcinomas, 4 cysts, 5 pheochromocytomas, 3 neuroblastomas and 1 myelolipoma were found. Adrenal metastases were present in 52 cases. Dependent on clinical symptoms and the expected pathological findings, the radiological procedure varies. The diagnostic accuracy of the various methods is compared.
