World J Urol. 1999 Feb;17(1):3-8. doi: 10.1007/s003450050097.

Abstract

Adrenal masses are a common entity. With the advent of improved cross-sectional imaging techniques the detection and characterization of adrenal masses has improved dramatically. We review the imaging features of benign and malignant adrenal masses and other entities that may cause mass-like enlargement of the adrenal glands.
