Adrenal calcification: an incidental finding or not?

Pediatric Radiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

When the adrenal gland is calcified but no mass is found, the calcification is usually assumed to be due to prior adrenal hemorrhage. We report a case of adrenal calcification without a noncalcified mass in a child who subsequently presented with neuroblastoma elsewhere. This case has implications for the investigation of children with adrenal calcification.
