摘要
OBJECTIVE. A variety of imaging and clinical guidelines have been developed to assist radiologists and referring physicians in the workup of incidental adrenal masses. The objective of this article is to provide a concise review of incidental adrenal mass imaging and present the key differences between the available guidelines. CONCLUSION. An alternative algorithm for the imaging and clinical workup of adrenal incidentalomas is presented in an attempt to bridge sometimes conflicting recommendations.
