Adrenocortical Tumors: Recent Advances in Basic Concepts and Clinical Management

Figure 5. Adrenal CT of a 61-year-old woman with primary hyperaldosteronism and bilateral adrenal nodules ( ) did not identify an increased lipid content in either adenoma. In-phase MRI also failed to differentiate between the two sides. A loss of signal content of the functional aldosteronoma was shown by out-of-phase MRI. Venous sampling and surgery confirmed a right aldosteronoma. (Courtesy of J.L. Doppman).
