Table 1.

CT characteristics of the right adrenal lesion.

Year of surveillance Density Enhancement pattern Absolute washout Size Reported conclusion
0 8 mm Most likely an adenoma.
0 Stable small right adrenal nodule, too small to characterise.
1 Unchanged Right adrenal is unchanged with only slight bulkiness.
2 3 HU (non-contrast) 10 × 6 mm, unchanged Right adrenal nodule is unchanged, likely an adenoma.
3 30 HU pre-contrast, 73 HU arterial phase, 102 HU portal venous phase and 42 HU delayed phase 72% Unchanged Stable small right adrenal lesion. The stability and absolute washout are in keeping with an adenoma.
4 Consistent with adenoma Consistent with adenoma Unchanged Small right adrenal lesion, corresponding to an adenoma. Unchanged in size.
5 Consistent with adenoma Consistent with adenoma Unchanged Stable right adrenal adenoma.
7 32 HU pre-contrast, 60 HU in arterial/portal venous/delayed phases 0% 66 × 49 mm Significant increase in size of the right adrenal mass since previous scan.
