Background/aim: The incidence of adrenal tumors is increasing due to the widespread utilization of radiographic imaging techniques. Factors such as tumor size, radiological characteristics, and functionality of adrenal adenomas play crucial roles in diagnosis and subsequent management. In this retrospective study, we investigated the clinical, radiological, and surgical features of patients with adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) and evaluated their follow-up results.

- - Pheochromocytoma is a tumor from adrenal chromaffin cells that produces catecholamines and can be hereditary or sporadic, with the majority being sporadic but some linked to genetic syndromes.
- - In a study of 33 pheochromocytoma patients, 21% had hereditary cases, which were diagnosed at a significantly younger age and had smaller tumor sizes compared to sporadic cases.
- - The research found that hereditary patients showed higher levels of urinary norepinephrine and recommended genetic testing, especially for early-onset cases and those with bilateral tumors.
Background: UK guidelines for managing adults with Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), published by the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) in 2016, outline a set of audit standards.
Objectives: To audit current management of SJS/TEN in adults against standards in the BAD guidelines.
Methods: BAD members were invited to submit data on five consecutive adults with SJS/TEN per department over an 8-week period in 2022.
