A member asked:

Does a mildly enlarged left adrenal gland mean a tumor? it was ordered because of high dheas of 835 (19-231 mcg/dl)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There are a variety of kinks in metabolic am, inborn and acquired, that can do this. And just being stressed enlarges the adrenals. There's a study of mafiosi -- during gang wars, their adrenals quadrupled in size
