Key Points

This research evaluates the relationship between adrenal mass size and its potential malignancy in dogs, along with surgical outcomes.
Analyzed cases of canine incidental adrenal masses (In-AMs) focusing on mass dimensions and surgical results.
Monitored perioperative outcomes after laparoscopic adrenalectomy for In-AMs of various sizes.
Noninvasive adrenal masses with maximum dimensions (MMD) ≤ 2 cm did not correlate with malignancy risk, suggesting prior monitoring guidelines are outdated.
Post-surgery outcomes for laparoscopic adrenalectomy were excellent, with minimal complications reported.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

Reveals that adrenal mass size does not predict malignancy in dogs, indicating a need for revised monitoring strategies.
