Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Adenoma, Adrenal Cortical
  • Adenoma, Adrenocortical
  • Adenomas, Adrenal Cortical
  • Adrenal Cortical Adenoma
  • Adrenal Cortical Adenomas

Note

  • coordinate IM with ADRENAL CORTEX NEOPLASMS; do not confuse entry term CONN DISEASE with CONN SYNDROME see HYPERALDOSTERONISM

Scope note

  • A benign neoplasm of the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is characterized by a well-defined nodular lesion, usually less than 2.5 cm. Most adrenocortical adenomas are nonfunctional. The functional ones are yellow and contain LIPIDS. Depending on the cell type or cortical zone involved, they may produce ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and/or ANDROSTENEDIONE.

History note

  • 2005 (1994); for CONN'S DISEASE use HYPERALDOSTERONISM 1985-2004
