==Overview==
[[Prevalence]] of clinically inapparent adrenal masses is around 2% in [[Autopsy|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.
The [[Prevalence]] of clinically inapparent [[Adrenal gland|adrenal]] masses (≥1 cm in diameter) in adults was estimated to be between 1 and 6%. The vast majority of [[Adrenal incidentaloma|adrenal incidentalomas]] are [[Nonfunctioning adenoma|nonfunctioning]] [[benign tumors]]. The [[prevalence]] of adrenal incidentalomas increases with [[age]] especially in [[Obesity|obese]], [[diabetic]], and [[Hypertension|hypertensive]] patients. There is no [[racial]] or [[Gender, Institutions and Development Data Base|gender]] predilection to [[adrenal incidentaloma]].

Overview

The Prevalence of clinically inapparent adrenal masses (≥1 cm in diameter) in adults was estimated to be between 1 and 6%. The vast majority of adrenal incidentalomas are nonfunctioning benign tumors. The prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas increases with age especially in obese, diabetic, and hypertensive patients. There is no racial or gender predilection to adrenal incidentaloma.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence and Prevalence

Age

  • The prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas increases with age. It is less than 1% in patients younger than 30 yr of age and up to 7% in patients over age 70.[10][11]
  • In childhood, adrenal incidentalomas are extremely rare.
  • Adrenal incidentaloma is more common in older patients.
