Is adrenal adenoma to carcinoma transformation possible?—Illustrative cases and literature review

Puntos clave

Adrenal lesions with benign characteristics can undergo transformation to adrenal carcinoma, requiring careful evaluation.
Only rare cases demonstrate transformation, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring of seemingly stable adrenal adenomas.
Assessment focused on radiological characteristics must consider the potential for malignancy even with dimensional stability.
This finding emphasizes the importance of further investigation into indeterminate lesions; ongoing monitoring is essential.

Resumen

Adrenal lesions with baseline benign radiological characteristics can very rarely transpire to be ACC. Prolonged dimensional stability cannot be considered a reassuring feature in isolation when assessing radiologically indeterminate adrenal lesions.
