Revising adrenal incidentalomas followup recommendations in CUA guideline: Re: Guidelines for the management of the incidentally discovered adrenal mass (CUAJ, Aug 2011)

摘要

We are writing to suggest a small, but important point of clarification regarding the CUA guidelines for management of incidentally discovered adrenal mass.1 (see Editor’s Note) These are excellent and much-needed guidelines for what is a very common clinical scenario; however, we would like to discuss the followup recommendations in the guideline for adrenal incidentalomas (AI) with benign phenotype (computed tomograph [CT] density 10 HU, benign CT washout characteristics, or loss of signal on chemical shift magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]).
