AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2015 Sep;205(3):554-63. doi: 10.2214/AJR.15.14467.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this review is to describe the features of diverse adrenal neoplastic lesions on radiologic and nuclear medicine imaging.

Conclusion: Various neoplastic lesions with or without malignant potential can occur in the adrenal gland. Knowledge of imaging features of adrenal lesions on radiologic and nuclear medicine imaging will facilitate differential diagnosis and assessment of malignant potential.

Keywords: CT; PET; adrenal gland; adrenal gland neoplasm; adrenal incidentaloma.
