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).
Adrenal masses are often discovered incidentally and are then termed adrenal incidentalomas (AIs). They are often discovered after an imaging procedure is performed that is unrelated to the adrenal gland. Usually, the patient has no signs of hormonal excess or obvious underlying malignancy.
