Hormonal Evaluation of the Patient with an Incidentally Discovered Adrenal Mass
Abstract
THE finding of an adrenal mass in the course of abdominal computerized tomography (CT) performed for other reasons poses an increasingly common clinical problem. The prevalence of such incidentally recognized masses ranges from 0.6 to 1.3 percent.1 2 3 An autopsy study performed in conjunction with one study of CT scans revealed a 1.9 percent prevalence of cortical adenoma in patients for whom no evidence of endocrinopathy was recorded during life.2 In addition, a single pheochromocytoma was found (prevalence, 0.1 percent). Another autopsy study found an 8.7 percent prevalence of adrenocortical adenoma.4 These data suggest that as scanning techniques continue to improve, . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
