Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) constitute an emerging clinical entity due to the increased use of abdominal imaging for diagnostic purposes. Most often it consists of benign-nonfunctioning lesions and an increase in size during follow-up is reported in about 9% (0-26%), whereas their functional evolution is rare. |
