Adrenal Mass Workup

Adrenal masses are present in 5-10% of all individuals and the gross majority are benign. Most adrenal masses are found incidentally on abdominal imaging performed for unrelated reasons. Occasionally, patients present with symptoms of a functional tumor and an adrenal mass is discovered as part of the workup. This session will discuss the diagnostic workup of adrenal masses which consists of blood tests, sometimes urine tests, and imaging which determines if the adrenal mass is producing hormones and if it has suspicious imaging features.
