Adrenal adenomas can be divided into functional and nonfunctional adenomas. Functional adenomas include primary hyperaldosteronism, hypercortisolism, and pheochromocytoma. Primary hyperaldosteronism can manifest as hypertension associated with hypokalemia, such as myasthenia, paralysis, polyuria, and arrhythmia. Hypercortisolism can manifest as concentric obesity, full moon face, and later hypertension and hypokalemia. Pheochromocytoma patients are mainly characterized by paroxysmal hypertension, orthostatic hypotension, metabolic abnormalities, etc. Nonfunctional adrenal adenoma generally has no typical symptoms, when the tumor is large, it can show atypical symptoms such as waist pain.
