[Analyses of ultrasonographs of adrenal gland cysts in comparison with pathological findings].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of adrenal gland cysts.


METHODS
Six patients with adrenal gland cysts were examined by two-dimensional ultrasonography and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), and the results were compared with the pathological findings.


RESULTS
The diagnoses by ultrasonography and CDFI were consistent with the pathological findings in 5 cases.


CONCLUSIONS
Ultrasonography and CDFI can be an accurate diagnostic modality for adrenal gland cysts.
