| Abstract: | Introduction: Adrenal incidentalomas are adrenal
masses discovered incidentally on imaging studies
originally not performed for suspected adrenal disease. The
aim of this study was to characterise a cohort of adrenal
incidentalomas found on CT imaging the adrenal region. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis, taking into account all the adrenal incidentalomas discovered on CT between July and December 2014 at Mater Dei Hospital. Only those with an adrenal lesion greater than 1cm were included in the study. The adrenal lesions were then classified according to these radiological features. Previous CT scans and any CT scans done after the study period were also reviewed to establish any change is size of the lesions. |
