title: [Diagnosis and surgical tactics in adrenal gland tumors].
abstract: Adrenal tumours are relatively rare. For localisation and reliable identification, stepwise radiological or nuclearmedical diagnosis should be added to targeted endocrinological diagnosis. Highest accuracy has been recordable from computed tomography, followed by phlebography, and arterial angiography. The authors feel that the extraperitoneal, lumbar approach can be considered a non-invasive, low-complication surgical method. It should be applied more often to cope with benign unilateral adrenal processes.
