Evaluation of Adrenal Incidentaloma.

Evaluation of Adrenal Incidentaloma. The Surgical clinics of North America Hu, J., Kassu, R., Titanji, B., Kebebew, E. 2024; 104 (4): 837-849

Abstract

Adrenal incidentalomas have increased due to advanced and more sensitive imaging modalities, their increased utilization, and the aging population. Most adrenal incidentalomas are nonfunctional and benign, but a subset of patients has functional and/or malignant tumors. The evaluation of patients with an adrenal incidentaloma involves addressing 2 clinical questions: (1) Is the tumor functional? (2) Is the tumor malignant? A careful history and physical examination focused on signs and symptoms of adrenal functional tumors, biochemical testing, and imaging features are the cornerstone in the evaluation of patients with an adrenal incidentaloma.
