Adrenal masses found incidentally on imaging rarely change after diagnosis but may carry an increased risk for cardiometabolic conditions, a study shows.

US and UK researchers reviewed 32 studies reporting outcomes on more than 4100 patients (mean age 60, 62% women) whose tumours had been found incidentally on imaging.
