Abstract

Objective: Adrenal incidentalomas are mass lewsion which are detected incidentally by imaging methods when there is no suspicion of any disease involving adrenal gland. Increased use of abdominal ultrasound (US) and abdominal tomography (CT) scanning has led to the frequent finding of an unexpected adrenal mass, or an incidentaloma. Methods: Sixty-four (53 female-11 male) patients, who were followed due to AI at Tepecik Training and Research Hospital Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine between February 2014 and February 2015 period were included in the study. Results of physical examination, USG, MRG and BT were recorded. Results: The mean age of the patients (53 female, and 11 female patients) was 56.02±11.698 years. All patients underwent overnight 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test, 24 hour urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine tests, plasma aldosterone/ renin activity ratio was calculated following analyses to exclude a functioning adrenal mass. Subclinical Cushing syndrome (SCS) in 9, and one aldosteronoma patient were detected, while in none of the patients any evidence was not noted.Conclusion: The results of our study indicated that incidentally diagnosed adrenal masses can be hormonally active or even malignant. So, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of these kinds of masses should be done carrefully

Özet

Amaç: Adrenal insidentalomalar (Aİ), adrenal beze ilişkin herhangi bir hastalık kuşkusu olmadığı bir durumda görüntüleme yöntemleri ile rastlantı sonucu saptanan kitlelerdir. Abdominal ultrasonografinin (USG) ve bilgisayarlı tomografinin (BT) kullanımının artması ile adrenal kitlelerin veya bir insidentalomanın tespit edilme sıklığı da artmıstır. Bu yüzden bu çalışmada Aİ tanısı alan hastaların radyolojik, biyokimyasal ve klinik olarak değerlendirilerek analiz etmek istedik.Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Şubat 2014 ile Şubat 2015 tarihleri arasında Tepecik Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Endokrinoloji ve Dahiliye polikliniklerine başvuran AI tanısı konulan 64 hasta (53 kadın, 11 erkek) dahil edildi. Hastaların fizik muayene ve var olan USG, BT ve magnetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) sonuçları biyokimyasal analizleri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 56,02±11,698 yıl olup 53'ü kadın, 11'i erkek şeklindedir. Tüm hastalara 1 mg deksametazon testi yapılmış olup, idrar metanefrin ve normetanefrin düzeyi bakılmıştır. HT ve/veya hipokalemisi olanlarda serum aldosteron ve renin düzeyi de bakıldı. Hastalarımızdan 9'u subklinik Cushing sendromu (SCS), biri aldosteronoma ile uyumlu değerlendirilirken hiçbirinde feokromasitoma lehine bulgu saptanmadı.Sonuç: Adrenal bezde saptanan rastlantısal kitleler iyi araştırılmalı, tanı, tedavi yönetimi ve sonrasında takipleri dikkatli yapılmalıdır
