Adrenal masses: the investigation and management of adrenal incidentalomas.

How should a surgeon approach an incidentaloma found during routine investigation for other unrelated disease processes? This paper discusses the investigation and management of adrenal incidentalomas and includes guidelines for the non-specialist.
