Evaluation and management of XXXX .

@entity1 @entity1911 @entity5 @entity700 @entity774
BACKGROUND: The widespread use of abdominal imaging has led to increased detection of @entity5 . The significance of these masses, as well as the optimal management approach to treatment, has generated some controversy regarding further evaluation and therapy. METHODS: The authors reviewed the literature regarding the evaluation and management of these masses, particularly @entity700 . Based on their institutional experience, they propose a diagnostic, evaluation, and management algorithm for treating @entity774 . RESULTS: Appearance and clinical history should indicate how to perform the biochemical evaluation, keeping in mind that the presence of @entity1911 must be ruled out. Radiological evaluation by CT or MRI provides useful parameters to identify malignant lesions. Surgery is indicated for masses that are larger than 5 cm in diameter or suspected of @entity5 . Fine-needle aspiration biopsy should be used when other extra-adrenal @entity5 are suspected and after @entity1911 has been ruled out. CONCLUSIONS: Careful analysis of each @entity774 is essential to effectively avoid potential problems. Guidelines to manage @entity1 with @entity774 are needed.
