• An adrenal incidentaloma is an adrenal mass detected on imaging not performed for suspected adrenal disease.
• The imaging study is not done for symptoms related to adrenal hormone excess (e.g. pheochromocytoma, Cushing’s or Conn’s syndrome) or an otherwise suspected adrenal mass .
• Screening imaging in patients with a hereditary syndrome leading to adrenal tumors is outside the definition of an adrenal incidentaloma.
• Adrenal masses discovered on an imaging study performed during tumor evaluation for extra-adrenal malignancies (‘tumor staging’ or follow-up) do not meet the strict definition of adrenal incidentaloma.
