Are Adrenal Tumor Producing Cortisol With Cysts On Both Kidneys Suggest Cancer?

Hi, I am a 46 year old woman who recently by accident that I have a large 4.0cm by 3.5cm adrenal tumor, left side. It is producing Cortisol. My level was 29. I also now discover I have small cysts on both kidneys. I want to know if this is all cancer. All I read makes me think so. Thank you Toni

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

Yes adrenal mass that is more than 4cm has a higher risk for malignancy although you definitely need surgery to because your mass is hyper producing hormones. Usually if ever your mass turns out to be CA it is usually low stage and surgery is often curative.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
