Prevalence
• Autopsy series of more than 8500 patients from 25 series:– 5.9% (1-32%)
• CT: – 0.6-1.9%– Data obtained >10 yrs ago (thick cut CT 5mm-1cm)
• Prevalence increases with age– <30 less than 1%– Middle age 3%– Elderly>70 10%

in asymptomatic patients

Fine needle Aspiration
• Little role in differentiating different pathologies– Potentially serious complications– Concerns of track seeding– Sampling error
• Negative biopsy unable to rule out malignancy– Inconclusive biopsy results may happen
• Useful in evaluation of suspicious adrenal secondary
• Important to rule out phaeochromocytoma first before attempting biopsy– Potentially life threatening hypertensive crisis

• Symptoms and signs not apparent and specific• Screening
– Low dose dexamethasone (1mg) suppression test
» NIH State of Science RecommendationNIH State of Science Recommendation
• Confirmation– High dose dexamethasone suppression– ACTH– 24 hr urine free cortisol

PAMELA YOUDE NETHERSOLE EASTERN HOSPITAL Hormonal EvaluationPhaeochromocytoma
• Endocrine test advised in all incidentalomas– (including normotensive ones)
• 24 hr urinary free catecholamines
• its metabolites– VMA and metanephrines
• Plasma free catecholamine metabolites (?more sensitive)

• Lateralization– CT/MRI– Scintigraphy– Adrenal vein sampling

PAMELA YOUDE NETHERSOLE EASTERN HOSPITAL Imaging studies
• CT– Still remain an accurate tool
• 97-99% sensitivity (spiral thin cut)– Solitary lesion >1cm with normal contralateral gland– Adrenal limb thickness

• MRI– Inconclusive results when compared
with CT
– May be slightly more sensitive to differentiate the pathology
– Very sensitive in detecting phaeochromocytoma
• (light bulb appearance on T2 images)
– Useful for staging for advanced carcinoma Georg et al Endocrin Review 2Georg et al Endocrin Review 2

Take Home Messages
• Adrenal incidentaloma requires– Hormonal evaluation– Assessment for risk of malignancy
• Risk of malignancy is mainly determined by its size
• Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the gold standard for adrenal gland removal– Except in invasive malignancy
