title: Atypical imaging features of adrenal gland lesions in children - report of three cases and review of literature.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The differential diagnosis of adrenal pathology depends on the child's age and imaging findings.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three children without clinical symptoms of neoplasm, with an adrenal lesion discovered on diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Laboratory tests for neoplasm were negative. The final diagnosis was based on histopathological examinations after surgical resection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  1. The value of diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests in differential diagnosis of adrenal gland lesions is limited. 2. Malignant tumors of adrenal glands should be taken into account in children. 3. Surgical resection should be considered in diagnostic algorithm of adrenal gland masses. 4. The final diagnosis is always based on histopathological examination.
