Adrenal cortical carcinoma with hepatic metastasis: preoperative radiological evaluation

Comput Med Imaging Graph. 1989 Mar-Apr;13(2):171-4. doi: 10.1016/0895-6111(89)90195-x.

Abstract

Preoperative evaluation of a patient with adrenal carcinoma and hepatic metastases was performed by arteriography, computed tomography (CT) and computed tomographic arteriography (CTA). Early and complete demonstration of tumor involvement by these imaging modalities allowed an accurate assessment of tumor extension and subsequent aggressive surgical removal of the primary as well as the metastasis in the liver.
