An Adrenal Incidentaloma After Colon/Rectal Cancer Surgery: A Primer Lesion or Metastasis—A Case Report

Abstract

The liver is the most common metastatic site of colorectal carcinoma. Adrenal metastasis is the second most common reason for “adrenal incidentaloma.” For malignant adrenal tumors, open adrenalectomy is the choice of operation. We present a 60-year-old man whose radiological evaluations revealed a metastatic lesion in the right adrenal gland, with a history of colorectal carcinoma. We conducted a literature analysis regarding the accuracy of imaging methods and laboratory tests. It is seen that radiological examinations and laboratory test results do not always comply with the postoperative results. Differential diagnosis and different diagnostic procedures should be considered.
