Adrenal masses: the investigation and management of adrenal incidentalomas

H R Patel et al. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2001 Jul.

Abstract

Most general surgeons will face at sometime in their career an 'incidentaloma' of the adrenal gland. How should a surgeon approach an incidentaloma found during routine investigation for other unrelated disease processes? This paper discusses the investigation and management of adrenal incidentalomas and includes guidelines for the non-specialist.
