Adrenal hemangioma: computed tomogram and angiogram appearances

Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi (Taipei). 1992 Aug;50(2):161-4.

Abstract

Adrenal hemangiomas are rare. To our knowledge, about 22 cases have been reported in the literature, of which 13 cases were surgically removed. We report probably the first case of CT and angiographically diagnosed and surgically confirmed adrenal hemangioma in Taiwan. We concluded that characteristic appearances on computed tomogram and angiogram associated with phlebolith-like calcification in the tumor may allow the radiologists to make correct preoperative diagnosis.
