adrenalfunctionoid
An adrenal functionoid, also known as an adrenal adenoma or adrenal cortical adenoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that arises from the adrenal cortex, the outer layer of the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped glands located on top of each kidney, and they play a crucial role in producing hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens. Functionoids are typically small, well-encapsulated growths that can sometimes produce excessive amounts of hormones, leading to hormonal imbalances.
These tumors are generally asymptomatic unless they secrete hormones in excess. When they do cause symptoms,
Treatment for adrenal functionoids typically involves surgical removal, particularly if they are causing hormonal imbalances or
Complications are rare but can include hormonal imbalances, adrenal insufficiency if the tumor is removed without
