Abstract
A variety of tumours, or tumour-like lesions, not associated with signs and symptoms of overt clinical hormonal excess, may involve the adrenal cortex. These include myelolipomas (p. 290), cysts (p. 294) and tumours derived from the stroma. However by far the commonest example is the so-called ‘non-functioning’ nodule, often wrongly referred to as an adenoma. These have been previously discussed in detail (p. 53).
