Overview

CT

  • Adrenal hematomas characteristically appear round or oval
  • Stranding of the periadrenal fat is evident as well.
  • Attenuation value of adenal hematoma depends on its age.
    • Acute to subacute hematomas contain areas of high attenuation that usually range from 50 to 90 HU.
  • Adrenal hematomas decrease in size and attenuation over time, and most resolve completely.
  • Adrenal hematoma may calcify after 1 year.
  • Organized chronic adrenal hematoma appears as a mass with a hypoattenuating center with or without calcifications. Such masses are termed adrenal pseudocysts.
