    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Eleven adrenal tumors were analyzed, with most found incidentally. Surgical exploration is recommended for all incidentally discovered adrenal masses due to diagnostic challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Adrenal masses are frequently discovered incidentally during imaging studies.
    • Differentiating benign from malignant adrenal tumors preoperatively remains challenging.
    • Histological examination is often required for definitive diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Eleven adrenal tumors were reviewed, with only one exhibiting endocrine activity.
    • Eight tumors were incidental findings on radiological evaluation.
    • Surgical exploration was the definitive diagnostic method for all cases.

    Findings:

    • Four of the eleven adrenal tumors were malignant (three nonfunctioning carcinomas, one neuroblastoma).
    • Two malignancies were initially misdiagnosed as benign cystic lesions on imaging.

  • One benign adrenal hamartoma was misdiagnosed as adrenal carcinoma preoperatively.

    • Implications:

    • Radiological assessment of adrenal masses has questionable accuracy.
    • Histological differentiation between adrenal adenomas and carcinomas is difficult.
    • Surgical exploration and excision of all incidentally discovered adrenal masses should be considered.
