title: Incidentally discovered adrenal mass.
abstract: Adrenal masses are common incidental findings on cross-sectional imaging. Most of these masses are benign, and adenomas are the most common entity. Several imaging studies allow accurate diagnosis of these masses, separating inconsequential benign masses from the lesions that require treatment. This article discusses contemporary adrenal imaging and the optimal algorithm for the workup of incidentally detected adrenal masses.
