Here are some ...: The finding of 1.9-cm adrenal tumor is called incidentaloma, which is found unexpectedly while a CT is done for other reason such as possible stone. How to handle such tumor? Is it functional or nonfunctional, or benign or malignant? Fortunately, most of them are nonfunctional & benign. For more detail?
