Whereas most unilateral masses are benign or nonfunctional, the bilateral adrenal mass is more likely metastatic disease, hemorrhage, infiltrative disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, macronodular Cushingâs syndrome, or bilateral cortical adenomas [ 5 ].n the case of the bilateral adrenal incidentaloma, patients who present with symptoms such as hypotension, dizziness, weight loss, or abdominal pain in the setting of bilateral adrenal masses should be evaluated for adrenal insufficiency using an ACTH stimulation test (Table 1).
The adrenal glands are located on the top of your kidneys, and produce adrenaline, cortisol, aldosterone, and other steroid hormones that enable the body to respond to stress. Adrenal tumors are abnormal growths on the adrenal glands. Most are benign (non-cancerous), and are called adenomas. Malignant adrenal growths (cancers) are rare. What are the signs of adrenal tumors? Most people with adrenal adenomas have no symptoms, and discover these growths only during a CT scan or MRI done for other reasons. Nonfunctioning adenomas don't affect the production of steroid hormones. Adrenal adenomas that increase hormone production are called functioning tumors.
