Overview
In 1979, incidentaloma was first described by Korobkin et al. In 1989, a large study at the Mayo Clinic found a 3.4% prevalence of adrenal incidentaloma.
Historical Perspective
- In 1979, incidentaloma was first described by Korobkin et al. They reported 15 patients studied on a CT for other indications who had an adrenal mass.[1]
- From 1985 through 1989, a large study at the Mayo Clinic found a 3.4% prevalence of incidentally discovered adrenal masses.[2]
- With widespread use of CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), unexpected adrenal masses with a diameter of more than 1 cm are increasingly found and multiple methods of management have been offered.
