Abstract EN
Incidentally discovered adrenal masses (incidentalomas) are common and present challenges both in diagnosis and management.
When incidentally discovered adrenal masses are bilateral, a refined diagnostic approach is warranted since bilateral disease is more likely to be pathologic.
We review a case of a 34-year-old man with incidentally discovered bilateral adrenal nodules.
A comprehensive diagnostic strategy led to the diagnosis of bilateral pheochromocytoma caused by von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
He was successfully treated with bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy and has recovered well.
While the initial diagnostic approach is similar to the unilateral incidentaloma, additional testing and/or genetic testing should be considered in the case of the bilateral adrenal mass.
