A case of myxoid adrenocortical neoplasm: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics.
[adrenal incidentaloma]
Myxoid
adrenocortical
neoplasms
are
rare
;
to
our
knowledge
,
only
56
cases
have
been
reported
in
the
literature
.
Therefore
,
distinguishing
benign
from
malignant
cases
is
challenging
.
Although
the
histopathological
features
of
myxoid
adrenocortical
neoplasia
have
been
amply
demonstrated
,
their
imaging
characteristics
are
yet
to
be
reported
.
We
describe
here
these
characteristics
for
such
a
neoplasm
.
Our
patient
,
a
70
-
year
-old
male
,
was
found
to
have
a
3
-
cm
left
adrenal
incidentaloma
through
a
non-enhanced
computed
tomography
.
Attenuation
measurements
were
22
Hounsfield
units
on
precontrast
imagery
,
and
percentage
enhancement
washout
was
92
%
.
Magnetic
resonance
imaging
showed
no
loss
of
signal
intensity
in
T
1
-
weighted
out-of-phase
images
,
but
high
signal
intensity
on
T
2
-
weighted
and
diffusion-weighted
images
.
Left
adrenalectomy
was
performed
and
the
pathological
diagnosis
was
confirmed
as
myxoid
adrenocortical
neoplasm
.
The
imaging
characteristics
reported
here
will
be
beneficial
to
the
differential
diagnosis
of
myxoid
adrenocortical
neoplasms
based
upon
image
analysis
and
will
help
distinguish
benign
from
malignant
neoplasms
.
