Article Synopsis
- Adrenal CT imaging faces challenges in distinguishing between lipid-poor adrenal adenomas and pheochromocytomas due to overlapping washout characteristics.
- This study involved 53 lesions from 53 patients and utilized CT histogram analysis to identify significant differences in factors like lesion size and peak HU values between the two types.
- Findings suggest that certain CT parameters can effectively differentiate between the two, potentially reducing unnecessary procedures and improving patient management for those with pheochromocytomas, but further validation is needed.
Background/aim: Total kidney volume (TKV) is a parameter used in both treatment decision and follow-up in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate intra- and interobserver agreement of the ellipsoid formula (EF) and manual boundary tracing method (MBTM) used in TKV measurement of ADPKD patients across different levels of experience radiologists. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the EF and MBTM, which is considered the gold standard for TKV.

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are very rare mesenchymal tumors. In addition to being rare in general, they are even rarer in the liver. There are various subtypes and there is only one case of liver PEComa reported in the clear cell type in the literature to date.

Here, we present a patient with intrahepatic PSS via the right adrenal vein diagnosed incidentally without encephalopathy.
Case Presentation: A 51-year-old patient, who was diagnosed with chronic liver parenchyma disease and a suspecting nodule on the ultrasound was examined by Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
