Adrenal sarcomatoid carcinoma: a rare case depicted on multi-detector row computed tomography.
Primary adrenal sarcomatoid carcinoma is rare malignant tumor with the characteristics of carcinoma and sarcoma. To date, only one case of primary sarcomatoid carcinoma in the adrenal gland was reported. We present here computed tomography appearance and pathological features of the case with primary adrenal sarcomatoid carcinoma confirmed by pathology.
