    GlossaryAdrenal Tumor (Adrenal Mass)

    abnormal growth in adrenal glands affecting hormone production

    An adrenal tumor, also known as an adrenal neoplasm, is an abnormal growth that develops in the adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may affect hormone production, potentially leading to various symptoms such as high blood pressure, weight gain, or hormonal imbalances.
