“…The most common [12] are: cortical [5,7]; medullary [5]; hamartomas [5,7,17,23], and métastasés [3,7,8,13,17,20,22,23]. They more often affect the medulla [12], They are usually found during autopsies (30-53%) [13,17,18,22].…”

“…Differential diagnosis should be made with enlargement of the viscera [4,12,17], abnormal position of the suprarenal gland [10], cancer ofhte pancreas [17], adrenal hemorrhage [1,12,16,17], cysts [1,12,17], tumors of the suprarenal gland [1,7,8,12,17], renal or retroperitoneal invasion of the suprarenal gland [17,22], amyloid osis [17] and xantomatosis [17].…”
