Adrenal tumors are commonly encountered in clinical practice, but current epidemiological data mainly originate from referral centers. We aimed to determine incidence rates (SIR), prevalence, and rates of malignancy and hormone excess in a standardized setting. Population-based study of all patients diagnosed with adrenal tumors in Olmsted County, Minnesota, 1/1/1995–12/31/2017 (average population 141,522). SIR and prevalence were sex- and age-standardized to the 2010 US Population. An adrenal tumor was diagnosed in 1,287 patients (median age 62 years; 713 (55·4%) were women, and 13 (1·0%) were children). SIR increased from 4·4 (95%CI 0·3–8·6) per 100,000 person-years in 1995 to 47·8 (95%CI 36·9–58·7) in 2017, mainly due to incidental discovery of adenomas <40mm in >40-year-olds. Prevalence of adrenal tumors in 2017 was 532/100,000 inhabitants, ranging from 13/100,000 in children to 1,900/100,000 among >65-year-olds. Of 1,287 patients, 111 (8·6%) were diagnosed with malignancy (96 (7·5%) metastases), 14 (1·1%) with pheochromocytoma, and 53 (4·1%) with overt steroid hormone excess. Malignancy was more common in children (62% vs 8% in >18-year-olds, P<·0001), tumors discovered non-incidentally (32% vs 3% in incidentalomas, P<·0001), tumors >4 cm (34% vs 7% in ≤4 cm, P<·0001), tumors with unenhanced CT attenuation >20 Hounsfield units (15% vs 1% for ≤20 Hounsfield units, P<·0001), and bilateral masses (16% vs 7% for unilateral, P=·0004). Adrenal tumor SIR increased 10 times from 1995 to 2017. Population-based data revealed lower rates of malignancy, pheochromocytoma, and overt steroid hormone excess than previously reported.
