We present 2 computed tomography cases of adult asymptomatic patients whose adrenal glands contained nonfocal collections of fat diffusely distributed throughout the limbs. Although no pathological proof is available, this pattern of fat distribution corresponds to a well-described pathological entity, lipomatous adrenal metaplasia.

Adrenal incidentalomas are increasingly identified through advanced imaging, posing diagnostic challenges due to their varied benign and malignant nature. We present the case of a 29-year-old male who, during evaluation for left renal colic, was found to have a 5.5 cm heterogeneous right adrenal mass on non-contrast CT, initially suggestive of a myelolipoma.

Article Synopsis
- * A case presented involved a patient with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type II diabetes, whose adrenal adenoma was discovered due to progressive hirsutism and was found to cause Cushing syndrome.
- * After surgical removal of the tumor, the patient's symptoms improved significantly, allowing a reduction in medications, and histopathological analysis revealed the adrenal adenoma featured rare lipomatous metaplasia and uncertain malignant potential.

Retroperitoneal cysts, a rare surgical phenomenon, present diagnostic challenges due to their typically asymptomatic nature. A 62-year-old male presented with a 4-month history of abdominal distension and increased burping. Upon clinical examination, a soft, distended, nontender abdomen with a palpable mass extending from the epigastric region to 3 cm below the umbilicus was revealed.

We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with a history of hypertension diagnosed at aged 35 years, on 5 antihypertensive agents and a history of intermittent spontaneous hypokalemia, was found to have a 6-cm left adrenal mass on computed tomography scan of the abdomen. The unenhanced computed tomography attenuation of the adrenal mass was -16 Hounsfield units (HU). The biochemical evaluation showed potassium of 2.

Multifocal ganglioneuromas are characterized by the presence of multiple benign neuroepithelial tumor nodules and are less common than solitary tumors. A small percentage of ganglioneuromas present with a fatty appearance. Only a few cases of multifocal ganglioneuromas have been reported, due to both their rarity and minimal symptomatic presentation; therefore, generalizations about risk factors and predictive markers are very difficult.
