The discovery of incidental adrenal masses is rising due to advanced imaging. A case report highlights the importance of preoperative evaluation for these adrenal incidentalomas, particularly for potentially secreting tumors like pheochromocytoma.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Advanced imaging techniques like ultrasonography, CT, and MRI have increased the detection of incidental adrenal masses.
  • Adrenal incidentalomas present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to their often asymptomatic nature.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old pregnant patient was found to have a large, asymptomatic left adrenal tumor via ultrasonography.
  • Endocrinological evaluations were initially normal.
  • Intraoperative hypertension and tachycardia occurred during tumor removal, indicating a hormonally active mass.

Findings:

  • The adrenal tumor was diagnosed as a pheochromocytoma based on intraoperative findings and histological examination.
  • The case underscores the potential for adrenal incidentalomas to be hormonally active and pose surgical risks.

Implications:

  • This case emphasizes the need for thorough preoperative evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas to identify potentially functional tumors.
  • An algorithm for preoperative evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas is presented to guide clinical management.
  • Early detection and appropriate management strategies are crucial for patients with adrenal incidentalomas.
