Radiomics and deep learning provide promising tools for precise assessment of adrenal masses
AI and radiomics show promise for adrenal tumor diagnosis
This systematic review evaluates the utility of radiomics and deep learning (DL) techniques in assessing adrenal masses including pheochromo…
A new review finds AI-powered imaging analysis could improve how doctors diagnose adrenal masses, but clinical use is still far off.
SDHD Variant Carriers Face High Penetrance and Multifocal Tumors
SDHD Genetic Variants Linked to Increasing Risk of Tumors Over Time
A meta-analysis of SDHD pathogenic variant carriers reveals age-specific penetrance rising to 82% by age 60, with 75% developing multifocal …
New data shows that the risk of developing tumors increases significantly with age for people carrying specific SDHD genetic variants.

Pheochromocytoma misdiagnosed as allergic vasculitis in a 36-year-old male led to ulcer healing but required toe amputation
24 Years of Leg Ulcers Led Back to a Hidden Tumor
This case report describes a 36-year-old male with pheochromocytoma initially misdiagnosed as allergic vasculitis.
A man's 24-year leg ulcer mystery ended when a hidden adrenal tumor was found, proving the wrong diagnosis kept his wounds from healing.
Questions about pheochromocytoma
Do people with SDHD mutations often develop multiple pheochromocytoma tumors?
People with SDHD mutations are frequently associated with multifocal tumors, which can include multiple pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma sites.
Full answer →Can deep learning and radiomics help identify a pheochromocytoma in adrenal masses?
