If adrenal masses are discovered as incidental findings (incidentalomas), a pheochromocytoma should be ruled out even in asymptomatic patients. Cystic lesions of the adrenal glands are rare and usually asymptomatic. Adrenal carcinoma is a very rare tumor with a poor prognosis. Important imaging modalities for evaluating the adrenal glands include ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
