[A screening test in looking for adrenal tumors (author's transl)].
2600 abdominal ultrasound examinations done over a period of one year were reviewed. Six cases of adrenal tumors were amongst them and proved to be two carcinomas, two simple cysts and two metastases of bronchial carcinoma. The ultrasonic signs of adrenal tumors are discussed. Ultrasonography is recommended as a fairly good screening test in looking for adrenal tumors.
