Adrenal gland is an important endocrine gland in human body. There is one adrenal gland on each side, which is located on both sides of the spine above the kidney. Nodules on the right adrenal gland are more common in adrenal adenoma. Adrenal adenoma is a very common disease of adrenal gland and belongs to benign tumor. Adrenal adenoma can be divided into functional adrenal adenoma and non-functional adrenal adenoma according to whether it has function. Functional adrenal adenoma can normally secrete cortisol, aldosterone, androgen, etc. For adrenal nodules, CT examination can be used to make a clear diagnosis. Generally, treatment for adrenal nodules requires surgery. For functional adrenal adenoma, laparoscopic adrenal adenoma removal surgery is often used. After surgical removal of adrenal adenoma, it can prevent excessive hormone secretion due to adenoma, thus causing endocrine disorder in human body.
