Contrast-enhanced CT revealed a large retroperitoneal tumor of the adrenal gland. MRI revealed that the tumor was iso-intense to hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging, with heterogeneous signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging without fat components. Angiography of the left adrenal artery confirmed many extravasations into the tumor. However, gallium scintigraphy showed no accumulation in the tumor. These findings were suggestive of a chronic expanding hematoma of left adrenal gland. This patient underwent complete tumor resection. Postoperative histopathological findings revealed a chronic expanding hematoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chronic expanding hematomas are slowly expanding, space-occupying masses as a result of trauma, surgery, or bleeding disorders. Chronic expanding hematomas mimic malignant tumors such as sarcomatous lesions. Although CT and MRI are used to obtain the diagnosis, the diagnosis is sometimes difficult. Gallium scintigraphs play a pivotal role in the differential diagnosis between them.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gallium scintigraphs, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, are useful tools to differentiate chronic expanding hematomas from sarcomatous lesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.09.199","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,7]],"date-time":"2020-10-07T04:15:04Z","timestamp":1602044104000},"page":"270-273","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effectiveness of gallium scintigraphy in diagnosing a spontaneous giant chronic expanding hematoma of the adrenal gland"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Kajioka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toshiaki","family":"Morito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasutaka","family":"Kokudo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Muraoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-63-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2490-13-60","article-title":"Chronic expanding hematoma in the retroperitoneal space: a case report","volume":"13","author":"Syuto","year":"2013","journal-title":"BMC Urol"},{"key":"R2-63-20260114","first-page":"116","article-title":"Chronic expanding hematoma in the retroperitoneal space: a case report","volume":"23","author":"Irisawa","year":"2005","journal-title":"Radiat.
