Article Synopsis
- Adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) occur in about 2% of healthy individuals and need thorough evaluation to check for hormone excess and cancer risk before treatment.
- The study looked at the clinical, biochemical, and imaging characteristics of 48 patients with AIs, noting that most had hormone-secreting masses and common diagnoses included myelolipoma and pheochromocytoma.
- Findings suggested that discrepancies can exist between imaging and actual hormonal activity, highlighting the need for careful evaluation in rare cases like extramedullary erythropoiesis and adrenal insufficiency in AIs.
