At the University of Chicago Medicine, our nationally respected endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons collaborate to identify the best way to treat benign adrenal tumors, using the most advanced medical and surgical approaches. For this reason, adrenal tumors are best diagnosed and managed by a team of physicians with extensive and specialized experience. While small, the adrenal glands play a vital and complex role in your body’s endocrine system. But all adrenal tumors need to be treated or watched carefully to ensure they don’t cause serious problems. Most tumors, or growths, on the adrenal glands are not cancerous.
Others may cause weight gain, fatigue, easy bruising and other problems. Some types of adrenal tumors cause high blood pressure, diabetes, Cushing’s syndrome and other conditions. When a tumor develops on these glands, which are located above your kidneys, hormone production can be affected. Your adrenal glands produce a number of important hormones, including cortisol and aldosterone. Specialized Care for All Types of Adrenal Tumors
