Adrenals, urinary tract, testes and prostate Flashcards
adrenal mass sizing for benignvs malignant
3cm
if adrneal lesion is <10HU
lipid rich - adenoma
benign
washout values for adrneal lesions
Relative wahsout over 40% - lipid poor adenomas
Types of functioning adrenal tumours
Conns
Phaeo
Cushings
Adrenal carcinoma
Functioning adenomas are likely to be lipid poor or pipid rich?
lipid rich
size of phaeo normally
large
> 5cm
enhance, necrotic
Cushings adenoma size
normally bigger than 2cm.
most of Cushings syndrome is from pituitary adenoma or ectopic source with hyperplasia of adrenal resulting
signs of cushings adenoma
atrophy of the other adrenal gland
features of adrenal carcinoma
rare and large
neuroblastoma does what to vessles
surrounds and displaces without causing narrowing
non functioning adenomas
size and enhancement
homogenous enhancement, <2cm
adrenal haemorrhage cahrachteristics
high attenuation on non contrasdt
in severe truama
adrenal cysts appearance
round, well define ect
if multilocualted think - lymphangioma and hydatid cyst
features of adrenal granulomatous disease
Bilateral
think TB, histoplasmosis
