Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].

Surgery

  • The decision to operate should take into account the presence of the metabolic consequences of cortisol excess.
  • A reasonable strategy may be to consider adrenalectomy for younger patients and those with new onset or a worsening of underlying comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, or osteoporosis.
  • There was a significant improvement in blood pressure and fasting blood glucose in patients who underwent surgery, but a worsening of blood pressure and fasting blood glucose in those who chose to be managed conservatively during a follow-up period of 18–48 months.
  • Although adrenal myelolipomas may grow over time, they can usually be followed without surgical excision However, when larger than 6 cm in diameter or when causing local mass-effect symptoms, surgical removal should be considered.[1]
