Abstract

It is difficult to make a correct diagnosis when a lesion arising from adrenohepatic fusion occurs. Also, the anatomical characteristics may lead to various radiological features so that it is frequent to under- or over-treat a lesion from adrenohepatic fusion. Adrenohepatic fusion is characterized by the close intermixture of hepatocytes and adrenocortical cells with rare or no formation of a peri-adrenal capsule. The purpose of this clinical perspective was to describe the direct and indirect imaging features of adrenohepatic fusion and show their clinical implications for patient care.
