They are classified as hormonally active or non-functioning, and as malignant or benign (...) . Biochemical and imaging evaluations are required to determine this taxonomy.

The prevalence of clinically inapparent adrenal masses increases with age, being <1% for patients younger

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Presenting as an Adrenal Mass With Increased 18F-FDG Positron Emission Tomography Uptake This article describes congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting as an adrenal mass with increased 18F-FDG positron emission tomography uptake.

A Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectometry Profile of 16 Serum Steroids, Including 21-Deoxycortisol and 21-Deoxycorticosterone, for Management of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CAH21) is most often diagnosed by newborn screening. The classic parameter studied is 17-hydroxy-progesterone, but the positive predictive value for the diagnosis of CAH is low in full-term newborns and even lower in preterm newborns.To (...) evaluate the diagnostic utility of simultaneously quantifying a large number of steroids by using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) from a small serum volume in patients with CAH, particularly during the neonatal period.LC-MS/MS was applied to sera from patients with CAH who had a classic form (n = 48) and rare forms (n = 2) of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, normal preterm (n = 10) and normal full-term (n = 20) neonates, and young patients without CAH (non-CAH; n = 149

Management of the clinically inapparent adrenal mass ("incidentaloma"). The National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Program convened surgeons, endocrinologists, pathologists, biostatisticians, radiologists, oncologists, and other health care professionals, as well as members of the general public, to address the causes, prevalence, and natural history of clinically inapparent adrenal masses, or "incidentalomas"; the appropriate evaluation and treatment of such masses; and directions (...) for future research. Improvements in abdominal imaging techniques have increased detection of adrenal incidentalomas, and because the prevalence of these masses increases with age, appropriate management of adrenal tumors will be a growing challenge in our aging society. To address six predetermined questions, the 12-member nonfederal, nonadvocate state-of-the-science panel heard presentations from 21 experts in adrenal incidentalomas and consulted a systematic review of medical literature on the topic
