Different types of expansive processes can mimic adrenal incidentalomas. Necrotic collection after acute focal pancreatitis could be misdiagnosed as an adrenal mass, since its CT characteristics could be equivocal. MRI has stronger capacities than CT in differentiating complex lesions of the adrenal lodge. A multidisciplinary approach is fundamental in the management of patients with a newly discovered adrenal incidentaloma and equivocal/suspicious imaging features (low lipid content and size >4 cm).
