Unique ID: D018246
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018246
Annotation: coordinate IM with ADRENAL CORTEX NEOPLASMS; do not confuse entry term CONN DISEASE with CONN SYNDROME see HYPERALDOSTERONISM
Scope Note: A benign neoplasm of the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is characterized by a well-defined nodular lesion, usually less than 2.5 cm. Most adrenocortical adenomas are nonfunctional. The functional ones are yellow and contain LIPIDS. Depending on the cell type or cortical zone involved, they may produce ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and/or ANDROSTENEDIONE.
Entry Term(s): Adenoma, Adrenal Cortical; Adenoma, Adrenocortical; Conn Adenoma; Conn Disease; Conn's Disease
Previous Indexing: Adenoma (1966-1993)
