Sažetak

The incidence of adrenal lesions on autopsy significantly overcomes the number of clinically diagnosed adrenal lesions. Due to increasing use of cross-sectional imaging in the past few years, a significantly higher number of adrenal lesions is detected, which require characterisation and endocrinological workup. Although a majority of these lesions are nonfunctional (silent) adenomas, imaging characterisation is required to exclude malignant process and determine further management. In this article we present the review of current litterature on imaging of benign and malignant adrenal lessions, with emphassis on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics, presenting images from our clinical practice. Furthermore, we present the algorithm based on the recommendations of American College of Radiology Incidental Findings Committee on how to select optimal imaging method and further management of adrenal lesions.
