Adrenal incidentalomas are common neoplasms and while they are often benign, they have the potential to be malignant. The American Urological Association guidelines state that adrenal incidentalomas should be surgically resected if they are large, metabolically active, and display malignant characteristics. Other groups have suggested that growth kinetics be factored in as well.
