Overview
Adrenal incidentaloma may be classified according to function into functioning (secreting) or nonfunctioning. Adrenal incidentaloma may be classified by nature into benign masses or malignant masses.
Classification
Adrenal incidentaloma may be classified by function into:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Functioning (hormone secreting):
- Adenomas and carcinomas 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):
Adrenal incidentaloma may be classified by nature into:
