Adrenal Incidentaloma Articles

An adrenal incidentaloma is an adrenal mass found in an imaging study performed for other reasons unrelated to adrenal disease and often accompanied by obesity, diabetes, or hypertension. The prevalence and incidence of adrenal incidentaloma increase with age and are also expected to rise due to the rapid development of imaging technology and frequent imaging studies.

We aimed to assess the usefulness of pre-contrast Hounsfield unit (HU) and mass size on computed tomography (CT) to differentiate adrenal mass found incidentally in oncologic patients.

From 2000 to 2012, 131 oncologic patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) were reviewed retrospectively.
