Abstract

The spectrum of adrenal masses in the pediatric population markedly differs from that in the adult population. Imaging plays a crucial role in detecting adrenal masses, differentiating malignant from benign lesions, recognizing extra-adrenal lesions in the suprarenal fossa, and directing further management. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of adrenal masses in the neonatal period, whereas MRI or CT is used as a problem-solving tool. In older children, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is often required after initial sonographic evaluation for further characterization of a lesion. Herein, we discuss the salient imaging features along with pathophysiology and clinical features of pediatric adrenal masses.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
