adrenal adenomas
Adrenal adenomas are benign tumors that develop in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of each kidney. These tumors are usually small and often do not cause any symptoms. However, some adrenal adenomas can produce hormones, leading to various health issues, such as Cushing's syndrome or Conn's syndrome.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like CT scans or MRI to identify the tumor. Treatment may not be necessary if the adenoma is non-functional and small, but surgical removal may be recommended if it causes symptoms or hormone imbalances. Regular monitoring is essential for managing any potential complications.
