Pseudotumours encountered in US and CT examinations of the adrenal glands over 2 years are reviewed. 12 pseudotumours were detected in US, 1 in the right adrenal gland and 11 in the left, while 2 pseudotumours were seen in the CT. The former were due to splenic lobulation in 4 patients, accessory spleens in 4, splenic cyst in one, renal cysts in 2 and the bowel contents in one, and the latter to the stomach and an accessory spleen (both of these CT examinations were technically unsuccessful). The 7 benign, non-functioning adenomas detected in CT and causing problems of differential diagnosis were also collected over the same period. A comparison of the US findings for 30 malignant adrenal tumours and the above pseudotumours revealed no essential differences, nor did a comparison of the benign non-functioning adenomas and small malignant adrenal tumours.
回顾了两年间肾上腺超声和CT检查中发现的假瘤。超声检查发现12例假瘤，右侧肾上腺1例，左侧11例，CT检查发现2例假瘤。超声检查发现的假瘤中，4例是由于脾脏分叶，4例是副脾，1例是脾囊肿，2例是肾囊肿，1例是肠内容物；CT检查发现的假瘤是胃和副脾（这两次CT检查技术上均不成功）。同期还收集了CT检查发现的7例引起鉴别诊断问题的良性无功能腺瘤。30例恶性肾上腺肿瘤的超声检查结果与上述假瘤比较，未发现本质差异，良性无功能腺瘤与小的恶性肾上腺肿瘤比较也未发现本质差异。
