1. Review sonographic findings of adrenal masses with CT and MRI correlation when possible. 2. Review the key imaging and clinical findings required in forming a differential diagnosis. 3. Illustrate the role of ultrasound in evaluating adrenal masses.  

Introduction Review the normal adrenal appearance on ultrasound Present a wide range of adrenal pathology focusing on ultrasound imaging characteristics of each lesion. Cases include adenoma, hemorrhage, myelolipoma, metastatic disease including metastatic leiomyosarcoma, pheochromocytoma, ganglioneuroma, ganglioneuroblastoma, and neuroblastoma. Review the scope of ultrasound as an imaging modality for adrenal masses. Traditionally CT and MRI better characterize adrenal pathology. However with certain imaging characteristics and the appropriate clinical context, ultrasound can be an effective tool even outside the pediatric population.
