Incidentaloma da adrenal é um tumor descoberto por acaso durante algum exame de imagem. O termo incidentaloma é utilizado quase exclusivamente para tumores das glândulas suprarrenais. Na maioria dos casos, os incidentalomas são assintomáticos, mas podem estar associados a sintomas relacionados à hipersecreção hormonal (sintomas semelhantes aos do feocromocitoma, hiperaldosteronismo ou síndrome de Cushing). Os tumores podem ser uni ou bilaterais. Estudos hormonais e outros exames de imagem, juntamente com um acompanhamento regular, devem ser iniciados após a detecção. A cirurgia só é indicada para casos sintomáticos ou para pacientes com crescimento rápido destes tumores. A transformação maligna é rara. | |||
