ABSTRACT

Tumors of adrenal origin may be derived from the cortex or the medulla, which depends on the type of functionality that can be developed. Adrenal masses have varying styles. With the development of new technologies in imaging studies, as well as their increased use, incidental disease has increased. The incidental discovery of an adrenal tumor does not mean lack of functionality. The activity follows the functioning tumors incurred glucocorticoid hormone overproduction, mineralocorticoids sexosteroids and catecholamines. All adrenal tumors should be studied independently of the size of the lesion. The surgical indication for adrenal tumors is based primarily on functionality and the risk of malignancy. In adrenocortical carcinomas can be considered, on the one hand, the classic and conventional treatment and, secondly, the new alternatives that are designed today.
