Abstract

Adrenal incidentaloma's prevalence is rising because of the big volume of radiologic explorations that we daily do. No comprehensive guidelines have been published by professional societies to guide the evaluation of patients with adrenal incidentalomas. All adrenal masses should be inspected for malignancy or hypersecreting disorders. In our point of view, adrenal surgery should be performed by the urologist, because it's the medical speciality which knows the best this anatomical region. The objective of this review is to present the main points that the urologist may know in the management of adrenal masses. Together with the department of Endocrinology of our hospital, we describe the main studies to perform in front of adrenal mass diagnosis and the current therapeutical diagram utilized in our center.

Resumen

El incidentaloma suprarrenal es una entidad en aumento en la práctica clínica habitual debido al gran número de exploraciones radiológicas que se realizan. No existen guías clínicas publicadas sobre el manejo del incidentaloma suprarrenal apoyadas por ninguna sociedad científica. Toda masa suprarrenal debe ser estudiada para descartar malignidad o hipersecreción hormonal. Creemos que la patología suprarrenal quirúrgica debe ser manejada por el urólogo, por ser la especialidad que mayor relación tiene con el retroperitoneo alto. El objetivo de esta revisión es desarrollar los aspectos fundamentales que el urólogo debe saber en el manejo de las masas suprarrenales. Conjuntamente con el servicio de endocrinología de nuestro hospital describimos los principales estudios a realizar ante el diagnóstico de una masa suprarrenal y el esquema terapéutico vigente en nuestro centro.
