CT detection of adrenal lymphoma

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1983 Apr;7(2):254-6. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198304000-00009.

Abstract

We present 7 patients with lymphomatous involvement of the adrenal glands detected by computed tomography (CT). In all patients the adrenal glands were diffusely enlarged resulting in oval, round, or triangular shaped glands. In 6 of the 7 patients retroperitoneal adenopathy was present. Adrenal involvement previously occult using conventional radiography should be detected more frequently using CT.
