A bulky adrenal gland refers to an adrenal gland that appears enlarged or thicker than normal upon imaging studies, such as a CT or MRI scan. This enlargement can result from various conditions, including adrenal tumors, hyperplasia, or inflammation. It's important to evaluate the underlying cause of the enlargement, as it may indicate hormonal imbalances or other health issues. Diagnosis typically involves further testing and clinical assessment.
A bulky adrenal gland with no definite lesion indicates an enlarged adrenal gland without a clear abnormality or mass present. Further imaging or testing may be needed to determine the cause of the enlargement, such as inflammation, hyperplasia, or a functional disorder.
That is the Adrenal gland. Another name for this is the Suprarenal gland.
The enlargement of the adrenal gland is called adrenal gland hypertrophy.
The Adrenal Gland. This gland is divided into two categories, the Adrenal Cortex and the Adrenal Medulla. The Adrenal Medulla produced epinephrine and norepinephrine. Epinephrine is also known as adrenaline, and the beginning of the word, "adrenal", is the same name as the gland, The Adrenal Gland.
The adrenal cortex, where aldosterone is produced, is part of the adrenal gland.
