67-Year-Old Woman With an Adrenal Mass

A 67-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 2-day history of right-sided flank pain. A noncontrast abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a partially obstructing right ureteral calculus. Incidentally found on noncontrast CT was a 2.7-cm right-sided adrenal mass that measured 15 Hounsfield units (HU), appeared homogenous and round, had smooth borders, and did not have calcifications or necrotic areas. The patient had no prior cross-sectional imaging for comparison. She spontaneously passed the kidney stone, with resolution of her pain.
