Abstract
An excretory urographic evaluation of 124 surgically proved adrenal tumors comprising 65 pheochromocytomas, 36 cortical adenomas and 23 cortical carcinomas is reported. The addition of linear tomography improved the diagnostic accuracy over conventional excretory urography. All types of tomographic examinations demonstrated at least 70% of adrenal tumors. Excretory urographic procedures are relatively safe, simple and economical and should be used as the initial step in attempting to localize clinically suspected and chemically diagnosed adrenal tumors.
