Prospective evaluation of tumor size and hormonal status in adrenal incidentalomas.
Because of the increased use of imaging interventions, more subjects have been diagnosed with adrenal incidentaloma in recent years. ⋯ In conclusion, we demonstrated that, despite being infrequent, adrenal tumors may increase in size, develop overt or subclinical hormone secretion or feature malignant transformation. Therefore, radiological and hormonal follow-up should be recommended to the patients. More investigations are needed for the establishment of long-term follow-up protocols.
