Recently, I found a lump in my abdomen and suspect it might be caused by an adrenal tumor. After going to the hospital, the doctor recommended a CT scan. What are the CT findings of adrenal tumors?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Peng Xiaodong
The CT findings of adrenal tumors are related to the nature of the tumor. If it is a benign adrenal adenoma, the tumor is generally oval or round in shape, with relatively uniform density, clear boundaries, and a smooth contour. In cases of adrenal cortical carcinoma, CT examination may reveal irregular shape, heterogeneous density, and a diameter greater than 4 cm.
