Abstract

The characterization of adrenal tumors may become difficult for different reasons. Medical imaging is insufficient to establish a diagnosis, clinical symtoms may vary and medication interfers with lab analysis. Furthermore, hormonal measurements gain diagnostic power with endocrine function tests. This article reviews diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in the management of patients with adrenal tumors.

Die Abklärung von Nebennierentumoren ist aus verschiedenen Gründen schwierig und unübersichtlich. Die Bildgebung kann unzureichend sein, die klinische Symptomatik ist vielseitig und Medikamente interferieren mit den Laboranalysen. Zudem gewinnt die Hormonanalytik erst durch Funktionstests eine zuverlässige Aussagekraft. Dieser Artikel soll Aspekte referieren, an denen sich die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Strategien aktuell orientieren.
