Incidental finding of non-functioning adrenal masses is not uncommon in patients undergoing abdominal CT. In a 4-year period, adrenal masses were detected as an accessory finding in 38 patients. The diagnosis was confirmed either histologically or in follow-up studies. This global series consists of 6 adenomas, 4 carcinomas, 1 pheochromocytoma, 1 ganglioneuroma, 23 metastases, 1 lymphoma, 1 histiocytoma, 1 myelolipoma. The Authors point out the parameters for the pathologic assessment of adrenal masses: size, contours and fine-needle biopsy appear to be the most reliable features.
在接受腹部CT检查的患者中，偶然发现无功能肾上腺肿块并不罕见。在4年期间，有38例患者的肾上腺肿块作为附带发现被检测到。诊断通过组织学检查或后续研究得以证实。这一总体病例系列包括6例腺瘤、4例癌、1例嗜铬细胞瘤、1例神经节神经瘤、23例转移瘤、1例淋巴瘤、1例组织细胞瘤、1例髓脂肪瘤。作者指出了肾上腺肿块病理评估的参数：大小、轮廓和细针活检似乎是最可靠的特征。
