Incidental Adrenal Nodule

Symptom

Incidental adrenal nodule

Considerations

• Adrenal nodules could be discovered incindentally by CT, MR or US. Finding fat density within the nodule important to determine benignity. CT and MR (without contrast) very good for this.
• Nuclear renal or MIBG scan, ultrasound, MRI with contrast, PET or biopsy not generally initialy needed.

Recommended tests

• MRI abdomen with gadolinium
• MRI abdomen without gadolinium
• CT multiphase adrenal gland
• CT abdomen without IV or oral contrast

For other considerations, call or text the radiologist.
