A thorough review of the literature concerning Adrenal Incidentalomas (AI) was conducted.
We started with the definition and the history of the term Adrenal Incidentaloma. We introduce a new term, the term Epinephroma. We described the epidemiological characteristics of Adrenal Incidentalomas. We cited and commented the characteristics and pitfalls of various radiological modalities. We went on citing the various arguments in literature about the size of the tumour, the natural history, the biochemical characteristics and the treatment of Adrenal Incidentalomas.
advances in modern medical technologies has offered us an armamentarioum of new diagnostic modalities which has improved a lot our differential diagnostic abilities concerning an incidental adrenal tumour. However, despite the advances, still a lot of challenges exist.
对有关肾上腺偶发瘤(AI)的文献进行全面综述。
我们首先介绍了肾上腺偶发瘤这一术语的定义和历史。我们引入了一个新术语,即嗜铬细胞瘤。我们描述了肾上腺偶发瘤的流行病学特征。我们引用并评论了各种放射学检查方法的特点及陷阱。我们接着引用了文献中关于肾上腺偶发瘤的肿瘤大小、自然病程、生化特征及治疗的各种观点。
现代医学技术的进步为我们提供了一系列新的诊断方法,极大地提高了我们对肾上腺偶发瘤的鉴别诊断能力。然而,尽管有这些进步,仍然存在许多挑战。
