title: Adrenal masses: the investigation and management of adrenal incidentalomas.
abstract: Most general surgeons will face at sometime in their career an 'incidentaloma' of the adrenal gland. 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.
