Adrenal cancer is a rare malignancy. In the United States, there are only about 500 new cases each year. At diagnosis, most individuals are between 30 and 50 years of age or are younger than 5 years of age (Source: OncoLink).
Size of the tumor: The size of adrenal tumor on CT is an important criteria in determining the potential of cancer in the tumor. In general adrenal cancers are greater than 6cm in diameter. Most tumors under 6cm are benign (non-cancerous). However occasionally small tumors 4cm or greater may be cancerous.
