Adrenal cancer is a condition that occurs when abnormal cells form in or travel to the adrenal glands. Your body has two adrenal glands, one located above each kidney. Adrenal cancer usually occurs in the outermost layer of the glands, or the adrenal cortex. It usually appears as a tumor. A cancerous tumor of the adrenal gland is called an adrenal cortical carcinoma. A noncancerous tumor of the adrenal gland is called a benign adenoma. Benign adenomas are relatively small, usually less than 2 inches in diameter. Most people with this type of tumor have no symptoms.
Scientists do not know exactly what causes most adrenal cortical tumors. Over the past few years, they have made great progress in learning how certain changes in a person's DNA can cause cells in the adrenal to become cancer.cientists do not know exactly what causes most adrenal cortical tumors.
