Overview
An incidentaloma is a tumor found by incidental without clinical symptoms or suspicion. Many incidentalomas are found by diagnostic imaging for other diseases. Some incidentalomas are benign, but some are cancerous. Usual incidentalomas locate in adrenal glands, kindeys, pituitary glands, thyroid glands and parathyroid glands. When your incidentalomas are found by imaging test, go to see your doctor to identify the diagnosis and receive treatments.
