Description:
Today on MedNet21, we're going to discuss Adrenal Nodules.

At the end of this presentation, learners should feel comfortable with the work-up of adrenal nodules, both those found incidentally and non-functional, as well as those that abnormally secrete a hormone, such as adenomas causing Cushing’s syndrome, pheochromocytoma, and primary hyperaldosteronism, and adrenocortical carcinoma. The learners should have a general understanding of the treatment for each diagnosis.

Objective(s):
As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to: UNDERSTAND the imaging characteristics used to determine treatment strategies for adrenal nodules, and USE biochemical tests to aid in the diagnosis of functional adrenal nodules. You’ll also learn about the following:
• Causes of adrenal nodules
• Which adrenal nodule needs to be biopsied
• Familial syndromes involving adrenal tumors
• Incidental adrenal nodules found when staging lung cancer
• Performing adrenal nodule needle biopsy and FNA
• What to expect during and after adrenal surgery
• Approach to adrenal hemorrhage
• Radiographic imaging follow-up of adrenal nodules
• Laboratory follow-up of adrenal nodules in patients with hypertension

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
