Three-year follow up of adrenal incidentalomas in a New Zealand centre.

Background: The international guidelines for management of adrenal incidentalomas (AI) are becoming more conservative. These changes are based on the growing body of evidence suggesting that non-functioning adenomas have a low likelihood of becoming functional or malignant over time.

Aims: To follow up at least 100 patients for 3 years who were originally found to have benign adrenal adenomas which were non-functional or had subclinical Cushing syndrome (SCS).

Characteristics of adrenal incidentalomas in a New Zealand centre.

Background: Management of adrenal incidentalomas (AI) is becoming more conservative, based on international data showing a low incidence of functional or malignant lesions. The clinical characteristics of AI in New Zealand are unknown. Therefore, whether the AI guidelines apply to the New Zealand population is also unknown.
