Adrenal adenoma is what?

Adrenal adenoma generally refers to adrenal medulla adenoma, which is a tumor occurring in adrenal medulla, sympathetic ganglia, parasympathetic ganglia or other chromaffin tissues. The specific analysis is as follows:

Tumor will continuously or indirectly release a large number of catecholamines, including norepinephrine, adrenaline and dopamine, which will lead to endocrine diseases with paroxysmal hypertension and sympathetic excitation as the main clinical manifestations. It may be related to genetic factors and gene mutations. In addition, pheochromocytoma, malignant pheochromocytoma and adrenal medulla hyperplasia are also the main causes of adrenal medulla hyperfunction. Adrenergic receptor blockers and α-blockers should be used as prescribed to help reduce vasodilation and control complications.

In addition, patients with adrenal medullary adenoma should be regularly followed up to detect and treat recurrent or metastatic lesions. Good living habits and mentality should be maintained at ordinary times to help recover and prevent recurrence.
