| pubmed-article:7441595 | pubmed:abstractText | The results of computed tomography examination of adrenal tumors in 19 adults patients are reported. Diagnosis of an adenoma during Cushing's syndrome is possible, as well as detection of spread of an adrenal cortex tumor. Avascular pheochromocytoma and Conn's adenomas less than 1 cm in diameter, occurring during the course of hypertensive disease, can also be demonstrated. In cases of adrenal metastases, the main value of the CT scan is to enable precise stereotaxic biopsies to be conducted, and to allow modification of therapy as a function of results. | lld:pubmed |
