Prevalence of Adrenal Incidentaloma in Patients Performed Thorax Computed Tomography for Suspected COVID-19 Infection

Aims: The primary purpose of this study is to make a retrospective evaluation of adrenal incidentaloma (AI) prevalence in patients performed thorax computed tomography (TCT), along with determining whether the diagnosed AIs were assessed functionally for adrenal gland hyperfunction and to detect the rate of hyperfunctional AI. Methods: The patients who applied to with the suspected COVID-19 and performed TCT between January 2020 and December 2021, were included in the present study. However, the patients who were followed-up due to a known adrenal mass and a malignant tumor were excluded. Results: TCT imaging, including adrenal glands, was performed on 2580 patients. The mean age for these patients was 54±16.8. However, when the patients were separated into groups in terms of adrenal pathology (AP), the mean age for the patients with and without AP was 61.4±11 and 53.8±16.9, respectively (p
