Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Adrenal Incidentaloma

The majority of adrenal incidentalomas (AI), adrenal masses discovered incidentally during diagnostic investigation of non-adrenal disorders, are benign and non-functional. However, not so many studies on clinical characteristics of patients with AI have been published so far, and our aim was to analyze data in our group of patients. In this case-control study, we analyzed the clinical characteristics of 57 patients with AI (12 males, 45 females) and compared to data of 103 patients with essential hypertension (EH) (60 males, 63 females) referred to our hospital. All patients underwent clinical examination, blood pressure (BP) measurements, and hormonal testing. Imaging techniques were performed as well. Patients were not taking antihypertensive drugs during the examination.
