Primary nonfunctioning adrenal tumors in adults.
During the past ten years, 18 nonfunctioning adrenal tumors have been removed. The significance of these lesions may be unknown to the urologist because reported cases and series are few and pathologic possibilities are numerous. The significant percentage of carcinoma is demonstrated in this series. Presentation, workup, pathology, and operative approaches are discussed.
