Aims and objectives of this session Tumours of the adrenal gland are a heterogeneous group of lesions that arise from either the adrenal cortex or the medulla. These tumours are extremely rare and exhibit an average annual age-adjusted incidence of 0.29 cases per 100,000 individuals. They include several subtypes of lesions that can be either malignant or benign. Some of these tumours are functional and produce hormonal and metabolic syndromes that can lead to their discovery. Other adrenal tumours (up to 50% of tumours, depending on the histologic subtype) are silent and are only discovered when they attain a large size and produce localised abdominal symptoms or metastases. However, the discovery of adrenal incidentalomas is becoming increasingly frequent due to the widespread use of abdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Most of these tumours are sporadic, and their aetiology remains unknown. However, several syndromes have been associated with an increased risk of adrenal tumours, and the underlying molecular defects of these syndromes have advanced our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in the tumourigenesis of adrenal tumours. The aim of this session is to focus on the most recent studies examining differences in the incidence, prognosis, work-up, and modern surgical management of different subtypes of adrenal tumours. - Poster viewing of 20 minutes.
