Adrenal adenomas generally do not shrink; they tend to remain stable in size over a long period, and may even increase in size. It is usually uncommon for them to become smaller. Once a patient is diagnosed with an adrenal adenoma, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital and consider surgical treatment.
