Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Widespread use of abdominal imaging has increased the detection of incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
  • These findings necessitate a structured approach to evaluation and management.

Purpose:

  • To review current biological and radiological procedures for characterizing incidental adrenal masses.
  • To propose a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for patients presenting with incidental adrenal masses.

Summary:

  • Evaluated various diagnostic modalities, including imaging and biochemical tests, for adrenal mass assessment.
  • Discussed the differential diagnosis, ranging from benign adenomas to malignant tumors.
  • Presented a comprehensive algorithm to guide clinical decision-making for incidental adrenal masses.

Impact:

  • Provides a standardized framework for clinicians managing incidental adrenal masses.
  • Aims to optimize patient care by ensuring appropriate diagnostic workup and timely therapeutic intervention.
  • Facilitates efficient resource utilization in the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas.
