[Diagnostic and therapeutic approach to incidentally detected adrenal tumors].
The authors report their experience relative to 12 cases of adrenal "incidentaloma" surgically treated. All masses removed had a main diameter larger than 3 cm. In all patients an anterior median transperitoneal incision was performed. They didn't record postoperative mortality and the postoperative morbidity rate was 15%. In 6 cases a nonfunctioning cortical adenoma was diagnosed. No malignant neoplasm was detected in their series.
