PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - The incidental finding of one or more adrenal masses, discovered on a radiological study performed for reasons other than suspected adrenal disease, has become a common occurrence in modern medical practice. Because the differential diagnosis for these masses, termed adrenal incidentalomas, incudes multiple distinct clinical entities (of differing prognostic significance), surgical oncologists must be familiar with the appropriate diagnostic workup and management of these lesions. This requires not only an understanding of adrenal anatomy, pathophysiology, biochemistry, genetics, and differential diagnosis, but also a working knowledge of the upstream hypothalamic-pituitary axis, which regulates adrenal function.
