OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to determine the nature and prevalence of
adrenal lesions identified on CT in patients with no known malignancy. MATERIALS AND …

Sixteen adrenal masses were identified with computed tomography (CT) in patients who had
no clinical or biochemical evidence of adrenal pathology. In five patients, an adrenalectomy …

With the wider application of increasingly sensitive computed tomographic scans, more
adrenal masses will be discovered incidentally. Because benign lesions of the adrenal are …

Until recently, adrenal masses came to clinical attention either from local symptoms due to
massive enlargement or from manifestations of excess hormone production. During the last …

With the aim of developing guidelines for investigation and management of adrenal
incidentalomas, 2066 patients with adrenal masses were analyzed from a total of 61,054 …

Background. Incidentally discovered adrenal masses of more than 1 cm in size are relatively
frequent, but the correct management of such lesions is not well established. Methods …

I. Introduction B EFORE 1974, the literature contained 178 clinical cases of

Adrenal incidentalomas, defined as masses discovered incidentally during imaging
investigation of non-adrenal disorders, have become a rather common finding in clinical …

Clinically silent adrenal masses discovered by imaging studies performed for unrelated
reasons, ie adrenal incidentalomas, have become a rather common finding in clinical …

PURPOSE: The incidental discovery of adrenal masses has become a common clinical
problem. We address current trends in clinical, endocrine, radiological and scintigraphic …
