Tumors in the adrenal region are clinically referred to as adrenal tumors. The exact causes and pathogenesis of this disease remain unclear and may be related to endocrine abnormalities, environmental factors, genetic factors, etc. Based on their nature, these tumors can be classified as benign or malignant; according to their location, they are generally categorized into cortical tumors, stromal tumors, etc. Moreover, this condition can occur in individuals of different genders and age groups.
