Adrenal tumor classification

Adrenal adenoma is also a common disease in clinic. Adrenal adenoma can be classified into benign tumor and malignant tumor according to its nature. It can be divided into functional tumor and non-functional tumor according to endocrine function. It can be divided into cortical tumor, medullary tumor, stromal tumor or metastatic tumor according to its occurrence site. Generally speaking, adrenal tumors that require surgical intervention are normally functional tumors or highly suspected malignant tumors or tumors that cannot be distinguished from benign and malignant tumors between operations. When patients show clinical conditions of adrenal tumors, they need to go to the hospital for relevant examination and treatment in time. They can go to the hospital for relevant hormone examination, adrenal color Doppler ultrasound, adrenal ct or adrenal magnetic resonance examination to confirm the diagnosis.
