Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Bilateral adrenal masses represent ≈10% to 20% of incidentally discovered adrenal masses

  2. Evaluation and management follow the same protocol as for unilateral adrenal masses, based on clinical history, examination and imaging characteristics of each lesion: possible malignancy, hormone excess or familial syndrome

  3. Features unique to bilateral adrenal masses must be considered: differential diagnosis, evaluation, and management depending on etiology, including optimal imaging modality, treatment (medical vs surgical therapy) and surveillance
