Thirteen patients with a mass in the adrenal gland area discovered at ultrasonography or computed tomography were studied. Hormone levels were normal in all but three patients with adrenal insufficiency. With the exception of three patients with metastatic tumours or adrenal lymphoma, all were operated upon on account of complications or for diagnostic purposes. The pre-operative diagnosis was confirmed by histology in 5 out of 10 cases (tuberculous abscess in 2, cysts in 2 and 1 haematoma in 1 case). In the remaining 5 cases the tentative diagnosis was erroneous: these patients had haematoma, neurofibroma, schwannoma, leiomyosarcoma and angiomyolipoma respectively. Thus, ultrasonography and computed tomography do not always differentiate between adrenal and extra-adrenal masses and between malignancy and non-malignancy; surgical excision therefore seems to be desirable in such cases.
