Abstract
In contrast to numerous previous reports, we have found that adrenal arteriography has proved to be a remarkably accurate diagnostic procedure in the detection of adrenal neoplasms (Table III). The accuracy of this method is related to the fact that aortography was supplemented by at least selective renal arteriography. In several cases, selective arteriography of the celiac and middle adrenal arteries was necessary to demonstrate the tumor. In 5 patients, celiac arteriography performed in conjunction with adrenal arteriography showed liver metastasis from adrenal tumors. We must conclude that arteriography of the adrenal gland is a safe and accurate procedure and that it provides more morphologic information than can be gained from conventional or other roentgenographic special procedures.
