Résumé

The uncertainty on the management of small adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) still represents a challenge in real clinical practice. Considering the lack of knowledge on risk factors implicated in tumour enlargement, the aim of this study was to identify risk factors for morphological changes during follow-up of adrenal incidentalomas (AIs). We retrospectively evaluated demographic, clinical, radiological and biochemical parameters of 153 AIs (2007-2021). Patients with histological diagnosis of metastases or pheochromocytoma were excluded. To detect risk factors for tumor enlargement, diseases associated with AIs were included if their prevalence was higher than 2%. Patients were divided into two groups (A: radiological stability; B: tumor enlargement defined as > 5 mm/year in the main diameter). Group A: 89.5% and group B: 10.5%, mean follow-up 38.6 ± 6.9 months (range 6-240). Tumor enlargement when occurred was within 36 months of follow-up. In group B high body weight (p < 0.03), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) (p < 0.05) and direct renin concentration (DRC) (p < 0.04) were higher than group A, while aldosterone levels were lower; moreover, considering comorbidities, glaucoma and dysglycemia (p < 0.01 for both) had higher prevalence in group B. Glaucoma and dysglycemia were independent predictors of enlargement. Patients affected by glaucoma, atrial fibrillation, dysglycemia had a lower dimensional change-free survival than non-affected. Glaucoma might be a novel risk factor for AI enlargement. If subtle undetectable cortisol hypersecretion has a role is a topic for further research.
