CT

• Adrenal hematomas characteristically appear round or oval
• Stranding of the periadrenal fat is evident as well.
• Attenuation value of adenal hematoma depends on its age.
  • Acute to subacute hematomas contain areas of high attenuation that usually range from 50 to 90 HU.
• Adrenal hematomas decrease in size and attenuation over time, and most resolve completely.
• Adrenal hematoma may calcify after 1 year.
• Organized chronic adrenal hematoma appears as a mass with a hypoattenuating center with or without calcifications. Such masses are termed adrenal pseudocysts.
