A member asked:
What would cause a mildly thickened adrenal gland.my ct report says i have this but my doctors have not recommended any follow up.not sure what to do.

Benign process: Fullness in the adrenal gland can be due to a benign process, like an adenoma, or malignancy from lung or other types of cancer. Measuring hounsfield units on ct can be helpful (usually hu of 20 or less is benign). If the area is equivocal, then a dedicated ct or MRI of the adrenals can be performed. Did your ct report have hu for the adrenal gland? Do you have a history of lung cancer?
