Abstract

We report a case of laminaria hypersensitivity treated with diphenhydramine and corticosteroids. A literature review identified 10 previously reported cases, with 8 recognized as anaphylaxis, and good outcomes with corticosteroids and antihistamines despite limited epinephrine utilization. Laminaria hypersensitivity is likely IgE mediated with an increased anaphylaxis risk with prior exposure.

Keywords: Adrenal cortical adenoma; Adrenal–Renal fusion; Benign tumor; MR imaging adrenal cortical adenoma with adrenal–renal fusion.
