Abstract
Two cases of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of adrenal ganglioneuromas are presented.
The appearance on spin-echo sequences is that of a heterogeneous mass, increasing
in signal intensity in T2-weighted images, with associated areas of decreased signal,
consistent with findings in the one previously reported case. The diagnosis of adrenal
ganglioneuroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of heterogeneous
adrenal masses.
