Abstract:
Objective To study and evaluate the diagnostic procedures and the treatment strategy of adrenal tumors. Methods The accurate rate of localization and qualitative diagnosis of various imaging procedures for 117 cases of adrenal tumors were analyzed and the treatment efficacy studied. Results The accurate localization rate of the tumors was 84.6% for B ultrasonography,90.6% for CT,98.1% for MRI and the accurate qualitative diagnosis rate 39.2%,69.6% and 79.6% respectively.107 of the 117 cases were surgically cured,of which 30 were considered as large tumors with a volume exceeding 10 cm?5 cm?4 cm,the largest being 20 cm?15 cm?10 cm.9 patients underwent intervention therapy and no surgical procedure has been undertaken in 1. Conclusions Imaging procedures are very helpful for the localization and qualitative diagnosis of adrenal tumors.B ultrasonography can be used as a screening procedure.CT and MRI are high in accurate localization rate.As to the accurate qualitative diagnosis rate MRI is a little higher than CT.Accurate surgical incision is of prime importance for a surgical success.Adequate perioperative preparation can minimize complications to occur.Laparoscopic ultrasonography should be on schedule whenever laparoscopic adrenalectomy is contemplated.
