Adrenal Gland Tumors

Adrenal gland tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the adrenal glands, which are small organs located above each kidney. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may produce hormones that disrupt the body’s balance. Common symptoms can include weight changes, high blood pressure, or changes in blood sugar levels. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and hormone level assessments. Treatment options vary based on tumor type and may include surgery, medication, or monitoring. Early detection is important for better outcomes, highlighting the need for regular check-ups if symptoms arise.
