Overview

Prevalence of clinically inapparent adrenal masses is around 2% in autopsy studies. Radiological studies report a frequency of around 3%. The prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas increases with age. The prevalence of adrenal incidentaloma is higher in older patients 10%. There is no racial or gender predilection to incidentaloma.
