Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adrenal incidentalomas are increasingly diagnosed with the widespread escalation in the use of high-tech imaging modalities and marked improvements in image resolution. However, several conditions can simulate a left adrenal mass as a result of the proximity of the left adrenal gland to the gastric fundus, spleen, first loops of the jejunum, and tail of the pancreas. We report a patient with a diverticulum of the gastric cardia that simulated a left adrenal mass. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case in Korean literature. Typical radiologic findings and clinical course are presented with reviews of the literature.
