The adrenal gland is a rare extrahepatic site of occurrence of echinococcosis, and particularly of AE. Patients with adrenal echinococcosis usually have nonspecific clinical symptoms. Imaging examinations revealed clearly the features of AE and its surrounding pathology. Alveolar echinococcosis was seen as an inhomogeneous pseudotumor with irregular boundaries, an irregular central pseudocystic appearance, and infiltration into surrounding structures. On contrast-enhanced computed tomography, the periphery of the mass in AE may be enhanced and multicentric vesicles may be seen. Magnetic resonance imaging may show the multivesicular morphology of lesions. The definitive diagnosis of AE should be confirmed by pathologic or serologic examination. Radical surgical resection of the removable parasitic lesion, followed by anti-infective therapy with benzimidazoles, is the primary method for treating AE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although primary adrenal AE is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of adrenal masses, especially in regions where AE is endemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/sur.2012.037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,16]],"date-time":"2013-07-16T13:37:08Z","timestamp":1373981828000},"page":"418-421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Extrahepatic Primary Adrenal Alveolar Echinococcosis: A Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Zhi-gang","family":"Chu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fa-jin","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi-yu","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Ouyang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001432-200310000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.176.5.1761207"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid0903.020341"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/sur.2010.077"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s150100050079"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(01)64016-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","first-page":"383","article-title":"Hydatid disease: A rare cause of adrenal cyst","volume":"62","author":"Bastounis E","year":"1996","unstructured":"Bastounis E, , Pikoulis E, , Lepp\u00e1niemi A et al.
