Unusual adrenal incidentalomas: magnetic resonance imaging features with pathological correlation.
Diagnosis of incidental adrenal masses is a real challenge to radiologists. The most common incidental tumors of the adrenal gland are adenomas and metastases. This article presents our experience with uncommon adrenal incidentalomas. Most of the magnetic resonance imaging characteristic features are demonstrated. When possible, they are correlated with the findings at gross and microscopic analysis, to help in understanding the mechanisms by which magnetic resonance imaging may aid in the characterization of the incidental adrenal mass.
