N2 - A multidisciplinary approach involving surgery, anaesthesiology, endocrinology, nuclear medicine, radiology and pathology is strongly recommended to manage patients with adrenal disease. Assessing hormonal activity of adrenal lesions and high resolution imaging are essential steps to determine whether surgical removal is necessary. Hormonally active adrenal tumors and non-functional adrenal lesions greater than 4 cm in diameter merit removal. In the latter group, it is important to identify any signs of malignancy. In patients with adrenal suspicious pathology, open surgery is advocated because these adrenal malignancies tend to be very fragile predisposing to tumor spill during laparoscopic manipulation.
