Bilateral Adrenal-Renal Fusion: A Radiological Diagnosis

Bamford RK, Bretherton J, Rosenfelder N and Bell J

In normal anatomy, the kidneys and adrenal glands are contained within the renal fascia and separated by a connective tissue capsule derived from mesenchymal tissue. Incomplete encapsulation can occur during embryonic development, resulting in adrenal-renal fusion. The true incidence of this developmental anomaly is unknown, as it has primarily been described in the literature following incidental detection on surgical or histological examination.

We report the first documented case of bilateral adrenal-renal fusion, diagnosed radiologically.
