  • Title: [The role of computed tomography of the adrenal glands in endocrine diseases: pheochromocytoma].
    Author: Andreis M, Avataneo T.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1985 Apr; 71(4):202-5. PubMed ID: 2864722.
    Abstract:
    The diagnostic reliability of CT in pheochromocytoma was evaluated in 12 symptomatic and 2 asymptomatic patients with a total of 1 bladder and 15 adrenal histologically confirmed tumours. Particular attention is drawn to two cases with bilateral sites (one male child, one woman with Sipple's syndrome) and the detection of possible local and distant malignancy. CT is thus an examination of the first order, since it is noninvasive, specific (no false positives) and able to reveal even small tumours.
