This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Left adrenal mass involving lower medial limb 11 mm in size. What does it mean?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

It means that there is an abnormal mass in the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is an essential organ which is located over the top of both kidneys. Mass in the adrenal gland is an abnormal condition and requires further investigations to make a definitive diagnosis. It could be an adrenal adenoma, pheochromocytoma, or adrenal carcinoma, could be a metastatic lesion from cancer elsewhere in the body. Less commonly, it could be a lipoma or tuberculosis. Mass in the adrenal gland is abnormal.

I suggest you visit your doctor as soon as possible for further evaluation.

I hope this information helps.

Thanks.
