Adrenal Tumors

Adrenal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in one or both adrenal glands, which are small hormone-producing glands located on top of the kidneys. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may either produce excess hormones (functional tumors) or not affect hormone production (non-functional tumors). Depending on their type and activity, adrenal tumors can cause symptoms related to hormone imbalances, such as high blood pressure, unexplained weight gain, excessive hair growth, or hormonal deficiencies. Early diagnosis is important to prevent serious complications.

What Causes It?

Genetic mutations affecting adrenal cells

Family history of endocrine tumors (e.g., MEN syndromes)

Hormonal imbalances

Previous cancer spreading to adrenal glands (metastasis)

Chronic stress and prolonged high cortisol levels

Inherited conditions such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome

Unknown (idiopathic) causes in many benign tumors

Signs & Symptoms

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Unexplained weight gain or loss

Excessive hair growth (hirsutism)

Fatigue and muscle weakness

Sweating, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety

Headaches (often in pheochromocytomas)

Abdominal pain or fullness

Stretch marks on the skin (in cortisol-producing tumors)

How We Diagnose

Our specialists use advanced diagnostic methods to accurately identify and assess your condition

Physical Examination

Checks for symptoms of hormonal imbalance and abdominal masses.

Blood & Urine Hormone Tests

Detect excess hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, or adrenaline.

CT Scan

Produces detailed images of adrenal glands to identify tumor size and location.

MRI Scan

Helps differentiate between benign and malignant tumors.

PET Scan

Detects cancerous adrenal tumors and metastasis.

Adrenal Venous Sampling

Measures hormone levels directly from adrenal veins to identify the affected gland.

Treatment Options

Personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and condition

Medications

Control hormone levels before or after surgery.

Observation (Watchful Waiting)

For small, non-functional tumors that don’t cause symptoms.

Radiation Therapy

Used for malignant adrenal cancers when surgery is not possible.

Chemotherapy

Treats adrenal cancers that have spread beyond the gland.

Home Remedies

Balanced Diet

Supports adrenal health with whole foods.

Stress Management

Meditation, yoga, and relaxation techniques.

Regular Exercise

Maintains healthy weight and hormone balance.

Limit Caffeine

Reduces adrenal overstimulation.

Adequate Sleep

Supports hormone regulation.

Prevention Tips

Regular health checkups for those at genetic risk

Maintain a balanced diet and active lifestyle

Manage stress effectively

Monitor blood pressure regularly

Avoid unnecessary use of steroids
