Volumetric Modeling of Adrenal Gland Size in Primary Bilateral Macronodular Adrenocortical Hyperplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Radiological characterization of adrenal size in primary bilateral macronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia (PBMAH) has not been previously investigated.

Objective

We hypothesized that volumetric modeling of adrenal gland size may correlate with biochemical disease severity in patients with PBMAH. Secondary analysis of patients with concurrent primary aldosteronism (PA) was performed.

Design

A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 44 patients with PBMAH was conducted from 2000 to 2019.

Setting

Tertiary care clinical research center.

Patients

Patients were diagnosed with PBMAH based upon clinical, genetic, radiographic and biochemical characteristics.

Intervention

Clinical, biochemical, and genetic data were obtained. Computed tomography
