AB  - Adrenal  incidentalomas  are  defined  as  adrenal  nodules  that  are  discovered  incidentally  on  abdominal  imaging  obtained  for  other  reasons.  Their  incidence  increases  with  age,  being  found  on  1–7%  (average  4%)  of  all  CT  or  MRI  scans.  About  75%  are  nonfunctioning  adrenal  adenomas;  however,  14%  secrete  increased  cortisol  or  aldosterone,  resulting  in  Cushing  syndrome  or  aldosteronism,  respectively,  and  7%  are  pheochromocytomas.  Another  4%  of  incidentalomas  represented  metastases  or  adrenal  adenocarcinomas.  The  differential  diagnosis  for  incidentally  discovered  adrenal  masses  also  includes  adrenal  infection,  hemorrhage,  and  cysts.
