Zusammenfassung

Das Krankheitsbild „Nebennierentumor“ ist aufgrund der Vielzahl möglicher Läsionen (benigne, maligne, uni- oder bilateral mit oder ohne Hormonregulationsstörung, Metastasen) sehr heterogen und stellt hinsichtlich der Diagnostik eine Herausforderung im klinischen Alltag dar. Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick über notwendige diagnostische Schritte und zeigt Indikationen zur Nebennierenchirurgie einschließlich des perioperativen Managements auf.

Because of these attributes adrenal gland masses are a clinical challenge. This article gives a summary of diagnostic steps and indications for adrenal surgery including perioperative management.
