BACKGROUND To demonstrate clinical characteristics of adrenal incidentaloma in South China and explore its comprehensive management. METHODS The clinical data of patients with adrenal neoplasm from Jan 1998 to Dec 2012 were retrospectively analysed. Patients with suspicion of adrenal abnormalities or those in whom adrenal abnormalities were detected in the staging procedures of other cancers ...

An adrenal incidentaloma is an adrenal mass found in an imaging study performed for other reasons unrelated to adrenal disease and often accompanied by obesity, diabetes, or hypertension. The prevalence and incidence of adrenal incidentaloma increase with age and are also expected to rise due to the rapid development of imaging technology and frequent imaging studies. The Korean Endocrine Socie...

conclusions in this study we showed that eft, measured by echocardiography is higher in subjects with ai when compared to healthy controls. epicardial fat thickness had the best independent correlation with ai in multiple logistic regression analysis. incidentaloma is also associated with increased left ventricular mass index and cimt. adrenal incidentaloma patients may show early cardiac chang...

abstract adrenal gland cysts are rare indications of adrenal diseases, which are commonly asymptomatic. in radiological studies, these cysts, known as incidentalomas, are often detected by coincidence accounting for 6% of the population. adrenal incidentalomas are commonly detected, and autonomous cortisol hypersecretion is the most prevalent abnormality associated with these masses. since this...

Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the detection rate of adrenal incidentalomas and subsequent workup. Design. Retrospective cohort study. Methods. Two investigators evaluated the adrenals on abdominal CT scans. Abnormalities were compared to the original radiology reports and an experienced abdominal radiologist reviewed the CT scans. All additional imaging and laboratory tes...

PURPOSE : To develop a clinical prediction model to predict a clinically relevant adrenal disorder for patients with adrenal incidentaloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS : This retrospective study is approved by the institutional review board, with waiver of informed consent. Natural language processing is used for filtering of adrenal incidentaloma cases in all thoracic and abdominal CT reports from...

introduction extramedullary hematopoiesis in the kidney and adrenal are rarely reported in medical literature and are usually found as incidentaloma. it usually occurs in patients with hematologic disorder such as thalassemia. case presentation the patient was a 23-year-old iranian man with beta thalassemia who was admitted with a suprarenal mass. adrenal mass was detected by ultrasonography an...

BACKGROUND Rarely, a patient presents to a surgeon for evaluation of an adrenal incidentaloma where the final pathology is primary malignancy. For primary adrenal lymphoma, fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. CASE REPORT We report a case of unilateral primary adrenal aggressive B cell lymphoma discovered incidentally in a 41-year-old female. Preoperative testing demons...
