94 patients with primary diagnosis "adrenal incidentaloma" were operated. Ultrasound investigation, MR-tomography, computed tomography, hormonal tests were made in examination of these patients. The results were compared with morphology and histochemistry of the removed adrenals. True hormonally inactive tumors were detected in 11 cases only. The conclusion is made that the term "adrenal incidentaloma" is a collective term which does not reflect the essence of the processes in the adrenals. Verification of morphofunctional features of adrenal tumors is possible only after clinical and morphobiochemical examinations.
