Eur Radiol. 2005 Jun;15(6):1163-7. doi: 10.1007/s00330-004-2509-8. Epub 2004 Sep 21.

Abstract

With the widespread use of computed tomography (CT), it is not unusual to find calcification within the adrenal glands. There are a variety of adrenal lesions that may calcify, but usually the appearance of the calcification is not specific. However, when the pattern and morphology of the adrenal calcification are combined with the other imaging features and the appropriate clinical history, the correct diagnosis may be suggested.
