Abstract
Incidentally discovered adrenal masses often pose a diagnostic challenge in the asymptomatic patient. The majority represent functional adrenal adenom as but primary or secondary malignancy must be considered. Bilateral incide ntalomas are rare, and a case of asymptomatic bilateral adrenal melanoma me tastases is presented. The diagnostic and treatment strategies relevant to this clinical problem are presented and discussed. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Ka rger AG, Basel.
