Adrenal tumors are commonly found as [[incidentaloma]]s, unexpected [[asymptomatic]] tumors [[incidental findings|found]] during [[medical imaging]]. They are seen in around 3.4% of [[X-ray computed tomography|CT scans]],<ref name=nieman>{{cite journal|last1=Nieman|first1=LK|title=Approach to the patient with an adrenal incidentaloma.|journal=The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism|date=2010|volume=95|issue=9|pages=4106–13|doi=10.1210/jc.2010-0457|pmid=20823463|pmc=2936073}}</ref> and in most cases they are benign [[Adrenocortical adenoma|adenoma]]s.<ref name=mantero>{{cite journal|last1=Mantero|first1=F|last2=Terzolo|first2=M|last3=Arnaldi|first3=G|last4=Osella|first4=G|last5=Masini|first5=AM|last6=Alì|first6=A|last7=Giovagnetti|first7=M|last8=Opocher|first8=G|last9=Angeli|first9=A|title=A survey on adrenal incidentaloma in Italy.

[[Pheochromocytomas]] are tumors of the adrenal medulla that arise from [[chromaffin cell]]s. They can produce a variety of nonspecific symptoms, which include headaches, sweating, anxiety and [[palpitation]]s. Common signs include [[hypertension]] and [[tachycardia]]. Surgery, especially adrenal [[laparoscopy]], is the most common treatment for small pheochromocytomas.<ref name=martucci>{{cite journal|last1=Martucci|first1=VL|last2=Pacak|first2=K|title=Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma: diagnosis, genetics, management, and treatment.|journal=Current Problems in Cancer|date=2014|volume=38|issue=1|pages=7–41|doi=10.1016/j.currproblcancer.2014.01.001|pmid=24636754|url=http://www.cpcancer.com/article/S0147-0272%2814%2900002-6/fulltext|pmc=3992879}}</ref>
