An adrenal mass, or tumor, is a benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous) growth that develops on an adrenal gland. There are two adrenal glands in the body, one situated above each kidney.
D35. 00 - Benign neoplasm of unspecified adrenal gland | ICD-10-CM.
A typical functional adrenal tumor producing excess aldosterone causing Conn's Syndrome. Tumors are simply abnormal "growths" from an organ, and thus an adrenal tumor is an abnormal growth from an adrenal gland. Adrenal tumors are common. A tumor simply means a mass.
Adrenal Adenoma. An adrenal adenoma is a benign (noncancerous) tumor that forms in your adrenal glands. It's the most common type of adrenal gland tumor. Most adrenal adenomas don't produce symptoms or require treatment. However, some adenomas may cause your adrenal glands to secrete excess hormones, like cortisol.
Types of tumors that start in the adrenal glands include:Adenoma. This is the most common kind of adrenal gland tumor. ... Adrenal cortex cancer (adrenal cortical carcinoma). This kind of tumor is rare. ... Pheochromocytoma. This is a tumor that makes hormones inside the adrenal glands (in the medulla). ... Neuroblastoma.

Adrenal nodules are found in approximately 5-8% of all patients. The vast majority are benign (non-cancerous) and do not produce excess amounts of hormone.
A pheochromocytoma is a tumor in the adrenal gland. It causes the gland to make too much of the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. This tumor often occurs when you are in your 30s, 40s, or 50s. It happens to both men and women.
Most adrenal tumors are noncancerous (benign). You may need surgery (adrenalectomy) to remove an adrenal gland if the tumor is producing excess hormones or is large in size (more than 2 inches or 4 to 5 centimeters). If you have a cancerous tumor, you also may need an adrenalectomy.
“Although the majority of these tumors are benign, around 30% of adrenal tumors greater than 4 cm are malignant - most represented by adrenal cortical carcinoma, and the survival rate for these patients is very poor unless detected early.”
Adrenal tumors can be malignant (cancer) or benign (not cancerous). Even benign adrenal tumors can be dangerous or cause uncomfortable symptoms. The adrenal glands are part of the endocrine system, which releases hormones into the blood system.
A pheochromocytoma is a tumor in the adrenal gland. It causes the gland to make too much of the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. This tumor often occurs when you are in your 30s, 40s, or 50s. It happens to both men and women.
Surgery. Surgery is the removal of the tumor and, if necessary, some surrounding healthy tissue during an operation. A surgical endocrinologist is a surgeon who specializes in treating an endocrine tumor using surgery. An adrenalectomy is the surgical removal of the adrenal gland with the tumor.
As a general rule of thumb, adrenal tumors greater than 4 cm should be considered for removal (3 cm for younger people). The skilled interpretation of your blood work and X-ray studies is where an experienced adrenal gland surgeon is extremely important in guiding whether adrenal gland removal is necessary.
Adrenal gland cancers are uncommon. They include. adrenocortical carcinoma - cancer in the outer part of the gland. neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. pheochromocytoma.
most adrenal gland tumors are non-cancerous adenomas that usually do not cause symptoms and may not require treatment.symptoms of adrenal gland cancer depend on the type of cancer you have. Treatments may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D35.02 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
