What is the long-term morphological and functional evolution of adrenal incidentalomas?
Patients with adrenal incidentalomas have a significant risk of tumor growth and developing hormonal alterations over time, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up.

May support surveillance for adrenal incidentalomas; leaves open optimal follow-up protocols.
Libé et al. (2002) conducted a cohort in adrenal incidentalomas (n=64). Adrenal incidentalomas was evaluated on Morphological and functional evolution (mass enlargement and hormonal hyperactivity). Patients with adrenal incidentalomas had a 5-year cumulative risk of 47% for developing endocrine abnormalities and 29% for mass enlargement.
