[主題詞] Adenoma,Adrenal Cortical
[英文釋義] A benign neoplasm of adrenal cortical cells resembling normal adrenal cells histologically but possessing functional autonomy. In general it does not exceed 5 cm in its largest dimension,although benign tumors exceeding 20 cm have been reported. Adrenal cortical adenomas produce hypercortisolism and hyperaldosteronism,but seldom produce adrenogenital syndromes. For the most part the prognosis after surgery is reasonably favorable.
