Key result
A rare myxoid adrenocortical adenoma exhibited atypical MRI features, including high T2-weighted signal intensity and delayed progressive enhancement, which can mimic other adrenal tumors.
Case Report (n=1)
Myxoid adrenocortical adenoma can present with atypical MRI findings, including high T2 signal intensity and delayed progressive enhancement, mimicking other adrenal tumors.
Atypical adrenal MRI findings warrant including myxoid adenoma in differentials; leaves open systematic characterization of its imaging spectrum.
We report a case of a 74-year-old female with myxoid adrenocortical adenoma which showed different magnetic resonance imaging findings compared to those of a typical adrenocortical adenoma. The myxoid change in the adrenocortical adenoma is a rare form of degeneration. It presents a considerable diagnostic challenge to both radiologists and clinicians because it can mimic other adrenal tumor types on imaging. The MRI findings of the presented case included a high signal intensity on T2-weighted images similar to that of fluid and delayed progressive enhancement.

Kim et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Myxoid adrenocortical adenoma (n=1). Magnetic Resonance Imaging was evaluated. A rare myxoid adrenocortical adenoma exhibited atypical MRI features, including high T2-weighted signal intensity and delayed progressive enhancement, which can mimic other adrenal tumors.
