Incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
It is becoming increasingly common to discover adrenal masses incidentally on radiologic imaging studies. Adrenal masses are also occasionally found unexpectedly during operation. Herein, we review 10 cases of incidentally discovered adrenal masses which illustrate the experience with the treatment of these lesions in the past 8 years. A management plan based on this experience and a review of previously published data are discussed.
