Figure 25.8 A 14-year-old DSH presented for blindness and retinal detachment. She was diagnosed with systemic hypertension,
chronic renal disease with proteinuria, and hyperthyroidism. The left adrenal gland is normal in width (a) and the right adrenal gland
is enlarged (b). The enlarged adrenal gland may be secondary to chronic renal disease.

Figure 25.9 An 11-year-old DSH presented for vomiting and low potassium levels. A mass is identified on abdominal radiographs
(a,b) in the region of the left adrenal gland. Abdominal ultrasound showed a heterechoic left adrenal mass (c). The right adrenal gland
was small. Bloodwork confirmed an aldosterone-secreting tumor which was removed.
