Lipomatous adrenal metaplasia: computed tomography findings in 2 presumed cases

We present 2 computed tomography cases of adult asymptomatic patients whose adrenal glands contained nonfocal collections of fat diffusely distributed throughout the limbs. Although no pathological proof is available, this pattern of fat distribution corresponds to a well-described pathological enti...

Zusammenfassung:We present 2 computed tomography cases of adult asymptomatic patients whose adrenal glands contained nonfocal collections of fat diffusely distributed throughout the limbs. Although no pathological proof is available, this pattern of fat distribution corresponds to a well-described pathological entity, lipomatous adrenal metaplasia.
