Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Adrenal adenoma is a benign tumor of adrenal gland which is located above the kidneys. Most benign adrenal tumors cause no symptoms and don't require treatment. But sometimes benign adrenal tumors can secrete high levels of certain hormones that can cause complications. In these cases, treatment for benign adrenal tumors may include surgery or medications.

Symptoms caused by adrenal adenomas due to excess steroid production is called Cushings syndrome and includes the following
(i) Weight gain and fatty tissue deposits, particularly around the midsection and upper back, in the face (moon face), and between the shoulders (buffalo hump)
(ii) Pink or purple stretch marks (striae) on the skin of the abdomen, thighs, breasts and arms
(iii) Thinning, fragile skin that bruises easily
(iv) Slow healing of cuts, insect bites and infections
(v) Acne
