Incidentally found adrenocortical carcinoma. A study of 21 patients.

The frequency of adrenocortical carcinoma was studied in a group of 311 incidentally discovered adrenal tumours. Clinical characteristics were also analysed. Ultrasound scan and computed tomography were the main imaging techniques used.

Incidentally discovered adrenal mass (incidentaloma): investigation and management of 208 patients.

Objective: Incidentally discovered adrenal masses are fairly common, although there are some controversies concerning the results of hormonal investigation (especially DHEAS values) and the methods of management. We summarize our experience in diagnosis, pathological findings and treatment of a large group of patients with incidentally found adrenal tumours.

Design And Patients: Our study included patients referred to the Department of Endocrinology of the Centre of Post-graduate Medical Education (Warsaw, Poland) during the last 10 years because of an adrenal tumour incidentally found on ultrasound scan.
