Metastatic malignant melanoma presenting as bilateral incidentalomas.
Incidentally discovered adrenal masses often pose a diagnostic challenge in the asymptomatic patient. The majority represent functional adrenal adenomas but primary or secondary malignancy must be considered. Bilateral incidentalomas are rare, and a case of asymptomatic bilateral adrenal melanoma metastases is presented. The diagnostic and treatment strategies relevant to this clinical problem are presented and discussed.
