Value of computer tomography on adrenal myelolipoma
Objective To analyze the imaging features of adrenal myelolipoma (AML) and evaluate the diagnostic value of computer tomography (CT) in AML. Methods The imaging and pathologic features of AML that was proved surgically were analyzed retrospectively. Results In 15 cases of AML
the masses of 8 cases were round or oval and mainly of fatty tissues; CT showed a mixed density mass of soft tissues in 4 cases and none or a little fatty tissues in 3 cases
calcification in 4 cases. On enhanced CT imaging
the soft tissue
septation and peplos of the lesions presented slight enhancement
but no enhancement in fatty tissues. Conclusion Correct diagnosis of AML can be made by CT scan in combination with clinical manifestation.
