What is a right adrenal adenoma?

Adrenal adenoma, also known as adrenocortical adenoma, is an adenoma derived from the adrenal cortex. It can be divided into functional and non-functional diseases. Most of these diseases are benign diseases. The specific harm to the human body is the corresponding clinical symptoms caused by endocrine hormone disorder, such as aldosteronism or glucocorticoid hyperactivity. Therefore, according to whether it has function, it can be divided into non-functional adrenal adenoma, which refers to adrenal adenoma without endocrine biochemical abnormalities and corresponding endocrine dysfunction symptoms and signs. Subclinical adrenal adenoma refers to tumor can produce endocrine active substances, but its secretion is not enough to produce obvious clinical symptoms and signs, such as subclinical cortisol, subclinical primary aldosteronism. Functional adrenal adenoma refers to a tumor occurring in the adrenal cortex or medulla, which secretes different hormones and causes corresponding endocrine dysfunction and related clinical symptoms and signs. If this kind of disease shows clinical symptoms, most of them are mainly treated by surgery. Surgical treatment can be divided into open or laparoscopic surgery. At present, laparoscopic surgery is mainly used. For non-functional adenomas, surgery should be selected according to the patient's tumor size. If the tumor volume is large, although it is non-functional, surgery is also recommended for patients.
