Adrenal tumors that are discovered “incidentally” are called adrenal incidentaloma. These tumors are not producing symptoms that are related to adrenal disease but are found on accident when exploring for other medical issues. There are different categories of adrenal incidentalomas and different treatment options. Danny Shouhed, M.D. is a board-certified gastrointestinal and general surgeon who offers adrenal incidentaloma treatment through his practice in Los Angeles.

The first step to determine the treatment plan for an adrenal incidentaloma is diagnosis of the tumor. Determining the type will reveal what treatment options are available. If the tumor is functional or malignant, it will likely need to be removed. Small, non-functional tumors may be observed to watch for growth or other symptoms.
When adrenal incidentaloma treatment requires adrenal tumor removal, you want a surgeon that is highly qualified for these complex procedures.
