Massive adrenal haemorrhage in the newborn frequently presents as an abdominal mass and is difficult to diagnose when this is the sole clinical feature. Surgery is indicated for the diagnosis and treatment of those cases in which a malignant tumour cannot be ruled out from the X-ray appearance with certainty. 3 cases are discussed in respect to clinical signs and the differential diagnosis of adrenal calcification in infancy is briefly mentioned in this connexion.
