12 patients with an adrenal tumour were observed in the absence of any known history of neoplasm at the stage of dissemination. In 9 cases the tumour was discovered accidentally. On the basis of the conclusions of the histological analysis following surgical exploration, the authors define the respective advantages of various examinations: laboratory assays, ultrasonography, CT scan, NMR and discuss the management of chance discovery of an adrenal mass.
