    Summary

    Two cases of benign nonfunctioning adrenocortical adenomas were incidentally discovered via computerized tomography (CT) scans. Surgical removal was performed, despite minimal endocrine abnormalities and no distinct clinical syndromes in one patient.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Adrenocortical adenomas are common adrenal tumors.
    • Nonfunctioning adenomas do not secrete excess hormones.
    • Incidental findings on imaging are frequent.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with incidentally discovered benign nonfunctioning adrenocortical adenomas on CT scans.
    • One patient exhibited minor endocrine study abnormalities without overt clinical symptoms.
    • Both adenomas were surgically resected.

    Findings:

    • Benign nonfunctioning adrenocortical adenomas can be asymptomatic and incidentally detected.
    • Subtle endocrine dysfunctions may occur without clear clinical manifestations.
    • Surgical intervention is a viable treatment option for these lesions.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of careful evaluation of incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
    • Suggests that endocrine testing may be warranted even in asymptomatic patients.
    • Contributes to understanding the clinical spectrum of nonfunctioning adrenocortical adenomas.
