Correction to a previously published case: recurrence of invasive adrenocortical tumor after excision of atypical adenoma.
A 74-year-old woman had hyperaldosteronemia and an adrenal adenoma that showed no evidence of lipid on in-phase and opposed-phase gradient-echo magnetic resonance (MR) images. MR images obtained 4 years after resection of the mass showed large masses of invasive tumor in the resection site, with small foci of lipid, and biopsy results confirmed the presence of an adrenocortical tumor.
