Author: Mikael Häggström [note 1]

Autopsy

  • In autopsy, make a couple of cuts through the adrenal glands, such as transversal ones, and look mainly for tumors.

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.
