The Incidentally Discovered Adrenal Mass
Abstract
With the wider application of increasingly sensitive computed tomographic scans, more adrenal masses will be discovered incidentally. Because benign lesions of the adrenal are much commoner than malignant ones, an approach is needed to determine which incidentally discovered masses should be removed. The history and physical examination may guide the evaluation. Imaging studies and needle biopsies have limited value. If the history and physical findings do not suggest a diagnosis, an approach using the size of the mass, results of any cyst puncture, and a biochemical assessment may determine which patients should have surgery. This approach is based on the relative prevalences of benign and malignant clinically silent adrenal tumors.

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.
