Handling and Pathology Reporting of Adrenal Gland Specimens

European Urology, 2004
Proper treatment of resection specimens by the urologist and pathologist is critical in accurately reporting tumors and tumor-like nodules of the adrenal gland. Clinically inapparent adrenal masses are discovered, with increasing frequency, in the course of diagnostic testing or treatment for conditions that are not related to adrenal diseases.
