A 30-year-old immunocompetent female presented with right flank pain since 3 years. MRI revealed a large well-defined T1 and T2 hypointense mildly enhancing lesion in the right anterior pararenal space displacing the right kidney and encasing the right ureter with T2 hyperintense wall thickening of the left renal pelvis and ureter. A provisional diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumour was kept. Bilateral double J stenting was done for hydronephrosis. Surgical debulking of the lesion was done with biopsy from the left periureteral wall thickening and was found to be myelolipoma on histopathological examination. This case is a novel variety of myelolipoma which is lipid poor, extra-adrenal and in bilateral perirenal and periureteric location.

Summary: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumour arising from the adrenal cortex, with an estimated annual incidence of one to two patients per million. Ectopic ACCs are extremely rare. The majority of ACCs are sporadic; however, ACC has been linked with genetic disease processes, including multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1 (MEN-1).

Purpose: The extracellular matrix of adrenal metastases could be different from that of the adrenal adenomas, which may be characterized by the extracellular volume (ECV) fraction. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of ECV fraction derived from single-phase spectral CT for differentiating between adrenal metastases and adenomas.
Methods: This retrospective study included 163 patients with unilateral nodules, including lipid-poor adrenal adenoma (n = 52, group A), lipid-rich adrenal adenoma (n = 65, group B) and adrenal metastasis (n = 46, group C).

Purpose: Data regarding [18]FDG-PET/CT for the characterization of adrenal lesions are limited. Most of the studies proposed the tumor-to-liver maximum standardized uptake values (SUVratio) > 1.5 as the best cut off to predict malignancy.

Introduction: The aetiologies in unilateral and bilateral adrenal lesions can be different with different clinical implications and management guidelines, the latter having aetiologies like hyperplasia, infections, infiltrative lesions and neoplasia. Bilateral tumours are more likely to have hereditary/syndromic associations. There is limited data on the clinical and pathological profile of bilateral adrenal lesions.

Pheochromocytomas are tumors that develop from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. More than 40% of cases of pheochromocytomas are associated with genetic conditions such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Cystic pheochromocytomas are rare, generally asymptomatic, and thus of bigger size at the time of diagnosis.
