10 mm nodule in the left adrenal image 25/6 is grossly stable from the 7/26/99 study image 12/3 likely an adenoma |

Missed by one reviewer |
There is redemonstration of prominent right adrenal gland given the stability over 4 years likely represents small adenomas |

The high attenuation masslike abnormality in the left adrenal probably represents an adrenal hematoma which is resolving |
Excluded |
Hematoma was neither included in the original query nor considered an adrenal finding that merited clinical follow-up |
There is minimal enlargement and mild nodularity of the lateral limb of both adrenal glands. The prior examination reports a history of biochemical abnormality consistent with primary hyperaldosteronism. Although the imaging appearance is not diagnostic, tiny adenomas may not be visible in this nondedicated study. At clinical discretion and if not previously performed, dedicated imaging with adrenal protocol may provided additional information |
Excluded |
No discrete finding is visualized on the current examination. The terms thickening and nodularity when used in isolation were excluded due their non-specific nature |
