Prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas among patients undergoing computed tomography of the chest for COVID-19

Introduction. Adrenal incidentalomas (AI) are a current problem due to their potential hormonal activity. At the same time, their prevalence in the general population is not completely clear. Patients and Methods. We analyzed the chest CT scans of 307 patients treated as inpatients for COVID-19 in order to identify patients with previously undiagnosed AI among them (study group). A control group was also selected from these 307 patients; it consisted of 27 patients without adrenal masses, similar in sex and age to the study group.
