Kidney and adrenal gland5/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() When is Adrenal Gland Removed? (Adrenal Cancer Surgery) Pheochromocytoma, which is known as attacks of resistant and fatal hypertension, and Conn's syndrome, which also presents with symptoms such as high blood pressure, muscle weakness, headache, and excessive urination at night, are conditions that require surgical removal of the adrenal gland as a result of uncontrolled hormone release. Sometimes, these detected masses require surgical intervention both by producing uncontrolled hormones and by pre-diagnosis of cancer.Ĭushing's syndrome, which consists of a wide range of complaints and findings such as weight gain, fat in the body, hypertension, weakness, depressed mood, elevated blood sugar, impaired wound healing and frequently recurring infections, purple cracks in the abdomen, chest and hips, is the most common symptom of adrenal gland masses. While the masses in the adrenal gland are mostly found incidentally (incidentaloma) in ultrasonography, tomography or MR imaging performed for another reason, the majority of them are benign and non-surgical lesions. While cortisol, which plays a role in our body's fight against stress, aldosterone and some androgens, which are involved in the water-salt balance, are released from the outer layer of the adrenal gland, two hormones called adrenaline and noradrenaline are released from the inner layer and play a role in our alert state during fear and excitement.
