Overview
[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].
[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
Classification
Adrenal incidentaloma may be classified by function into:
- Functioning (hormonal secreting):
- Adenomas and carcinoma can secrete any type of adrenal hormones.
- Most of them probably secrete so little excess cortisol with minimal signs of Cushing’s syndrome that may be not discovered.
- Pheochromocytomas that secrete catecholamines.
- Aldosterone secreting masses may show hypertension and hypokalemia.
- Nonfunctioning (nonhormonal secreting): adenoma, myelolipoma, neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, hemangioma, and cysts.
Adrenal incidentaloma may be classified by nature into:
- Benign masses:
- Malignant masses
