A member asked:

Do functioning and non functioning adrenal tumours produce the same symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Eric Chevlen answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Oncology

No: By definition, functioning adrenal tumors secrete hormones which have distant effects. For example a cortisol-secreting adrenal tumor would cause hypertension, stretch marks, and increased blood sugar.
