Autopsy
- In autopsy, make a couple of cuts through the adrenal glands, such as transversal ones, and look mainly for tumors.
Adrenal cortical necrosis. Hemorrhage, fibrin thrombi and short postmortem interval indicate ante-mortem necrosis, otherwise it can be regarded as a postmortem change.[1]
Report
Normal status:
- Minimal: Adrenal glands are normal bilaterally.
- Moderate length: Adrenal glands are ordinarily configured and with no definable focal changes on cut surfaces.
