Terzolo M et al. - The management of clinically inapparent adrenal adenomas may vary depending whether or not they are functioning. It is reasonable to screen for primary aldosteronism all hypertensive patients and recommend adrenalectomy when an aldosterone-producing adenoma is confirmed. A subset of adenomas secretes cortisol autonomously and may lead to mild hypercortisolism, a condition defined as subclinical Cushing's syndrome.
