In the last fifteen years the development of imaging techniques, especially the routine use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lead to increased number of incidentally discovered adrenal masses. Facing the incidentalomas, it is necessary to make decisions about further management of the patient. This paper gives a review of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the adrenal incidentaloma, with available imaging tools and with the stress on the importance of particular imaging techniques.
