Autopsy
Autopsy processing
- In autopsy, make a couple of cuts through the adrenal glands, such as transversal ones, and look mainly for tumors (see separate section below).
Adrenal cortical necrosis. Hemorrhage, fibrin thrombi and short postmortem interval indicate ante-mortem necrosis, otherwise it can be regarded as a postmortem change.[1]
Autopsy 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.
Adrenal tumors
