[Adrenal tumors: topical diagnosis and surgical outcomes].
A total of 128 adrenalectomies were made for catechol-producing tumor (n = 69), mineralocorticism (n = 27), primary and metastatic adrenal cancer (n = 20), other tumors (n = 12). A stable hypotensive result after adrenalectomy was observed in 97.1, 66.8% patients with pheochromocytoma and mineralocorticism, respectively. The rest patients improved, i.e. their malignant hypertension converted to a benign one. If cancer involves the upper segment of the kidney, the tumor often invades the adrenal. Therefore, pre- and intraoperative search for adrenal tumor must be made.
