title: [Computerized tomography findings in hormonally inactive adrenal gland tumors].
abstract: CT examinations of 6 years served as basis for the incidence of hormonally inactive space-occupying masses at the adrenal. Of a total of 25,000 patients, 313 (1.3%) suffered from disease of the adrenals, and of these 261 patients had a hormonally inactive adrenal tumour. Adenomas were the most frequent space-occupying growths (101 patients), followed by metastases of the adrenals (77 patients), whereas adrenal carcinomas (4 patients), myelolipomas (3 patients), ganglioneuromas (3 patients) adrenal cysts (3 patients) and adrenal haemorrhages (2 patients) were rare findings.
