Is biochemical screening for pheochromocytoma in adrenal incidentalomas expressing low unenhanced attenuation on computed tomography necessary?

Sane T. , Schalin-Jantti C. , Raade M.

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas are characterized by a high attenuation value on unenhanced computed tomography (CT). It is not known whether pheochromocytoma can be outruled as a cause of adrenal incidentalomas based on unenhanced attenuation values only. We evaluated the outcome of routine biochemical screening for pheochromocytoma in a series of patients with adrenal incidentalomas in relationship to the unenhanced attenuation values on CT.Design and ...
