Adrenal Tumors
Adrenal tumors are abnormal growths that occur in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of each kidney. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may affect hormone production, leading to various health issues. Common types include adrenal adenomas and adrenal carcinomas.
Symptoms of adrenal tumors can vary widely, depending on whether they produce excess hormones. Some individuals may experience weight gain, high blood pressure, or changes in mood. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like CT scans or MRI, and treatment options may include surgery, medication, or monitoring.
