Early symptoms of adrenal tumors mainly manifest as symptoms of excess cortisol, including facial swelling, increased body hair, fatigue, facial acne, central obesity, and moon face. They may also cause abnormal aldosterone secretion, primarily presenting as hypertension, muscle weakness, increased nocturnal urination, decreased blood potassium levels, and reduced renin levels.
