RESUMEN:
Las lesiones en las glándulas adrenales, en su mayoría, son detectadas de forma incidental a partir de imágenes diagnósticas. Una vez identificada una lesión adrenal, es necesario valorar si es hormonalmente funcionante o no funcionante para guiar el tratamiento y el seguimiento. Las características semiológicas por imagen de estas lesiones permiten clasificarlas y distinguir cuáles son probablemente benignas o, por el contrario, cuáles tienen características de malignidad. Se propone una revisión del tema con las principales lesiones adrenales y cómo identificarlas a partir de imágenes diagnósticas.

Abstract:
Lesions in the adrenal glands are mostly an incidental finding. Once an adrenal lesion has been identified, it is necessary to assess whether it is hormonally functioning or non-functioning to guide treatment and follow-up. The semiological characteristics of these lesions by imaging allow them to be classified and to distinguish which are probably benign or, on the contrary, which have malignant characteristics. A review of the main adrenal lesions and how to identify them on diagnostic images is proposed.
