Incidentally detected adrenal tumours (incidentalomas): histological heterogeneity and differentiated therapeutic approach

Abstract: Oncological screening tests are necessary in all incidentalomas. Tumours > or = 30 mm should be operated but smaller ones can be followed-up, because they are usually benign and rarely show progressive growth. Cortical adenomas with subtle hormonal overproduction and hypertension, diabetes or osteoporosis should be operated, irrespective of their size, but in the absence of relevant clinical symptoms they can be followed-up.
