| | Tumors of the adrenal glands are fairly rare, but they often attract considerable attention because they can produce an excess of one or more hormones. | | | The vast majority of adrenal tumors are benign, being discovered either because of the effects of hormone overproduction or by virtue of the ability of ultrasound, CT or MRI scanners to detect small adrenal tumors that are usually benign adenomas. | | | They occur slightly more frequently in men, at a median age of 40, than in women, at a median age of 47. |
