Nonfunctioning adrenal masses: incidental discovery on computed tomography
Abstract
Sixteen adrenal masses were identified with computed tomography (CT) in patients who had no clinical or biochemical evidence of adrenal pathology. In five patients, an adrenalectomy was performed, disclosing either an adenoma or nodular hyperplasia. Autopsy disclosed a cortical adenoma in one patient who died from unrelated causes. In the remaining 10 patients, follow-up scans 4--16 months later revealed no change in the size of the masses. A management plan of nonfunctioning adrenal masses discovered incidentally on CT is proposed.

The first CT scan series regarding AIs, published between 1982 and 1986, reported a prevalence of 0.6% to 1.3%, which likely represents an underestimation due to low-resolution technology and failure to detect smaller lesions.
“The first CT scan series regarding AIs, published between 1982 and 1986, reported a prevalence of 0.6% to 1.3% (33-35), which likely represents an underestimation due to the low-resolution technology available at the time and failure to detect smaller lesions.”

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.
