Adrenal cortex adenoma
MONDO:0003924A benign neoplasm that can arise from any of the adrenal cortical layers. It can be associated with the overproduction of glucocorticoids (Cushing's syndrome), androgenic or estrogenic steroids (adrenogenital syndrome), or mineralocorticoids (Conn's syndrome). (Sternberg Diagnostic Surgical Pathology, 3rd ed.)
Also known as: adenoma of adrenal cortex, adenoma of adrenal gland, adenoma of the adrenal cortex, adenoma of the adrenal gland, adenoma, adrenocortical, benign, adrenal adenoma, adrenal cortex adenoma, adrenal cortical adenoma

Zapping adrenal tumors could lower blood pressure without surgery
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a procedure called radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat to destroy a small adrenal gland tumor that causes high blood pressure. Researchers wanted to see if it could safely lower blood pressure in 31 patients with primary aldosteronism. The goal was to reduc…

Can a new PET scan light up hidden adrenal tumors causing high blood pressure?
Diagnosis CompletedThis trial is testing whether a new radioactive tracer, [18F]AlF-NOTA-pentixather, can accurately identify aldosterone-producing adenomas (benign adrenal tumors) in people with primary aldosteronism—a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, leading to high b…

Could a simple saliva test replace blood draws for cortisol screening?
Diagnosis CompletedThis study looked at whether a saliva test can accurately measure cortisol levels after a dexamethasone suppression test, compared to the standard blood test. Researchers studied about 100 patients with adrenal incidentalomas (non-cancerous growths on the adrenal gland) and 100 h…

Scientists investigate why adrenal tumors produce hormones
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at adrenal gland tumors to understand why they form, why some release extra hormones, and why some are cancerous. Researchers studied 690 people with known or suspected adrenal tumors. Participants underwent tests like blood draws, imaging scans, and urine colle…

Urine test could replace repeated scans for adrenal tumors
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 807 adults with adrenal tumors found by accident during scans for other reasons. Researchers compared the usual approach of repeat CT scans to a single urine steroid profile test to see which is more cost-effective for detecting cancer. The goal is to find a …
