I was not exactly thrilled to hear those words, but knew it had come from God. At the time, of course, we thought the vision was about Miranda. I got on my knees before Kevin and told him I knew with my entire heart this test was coming back and we needed to be ready. We would have to walk through this together getting our strength from God.

These are classified as incidental findings or incidentalomas. Some findings can be benign while some may require follow-up imaging and/or referral and review by a consultant specialist. Sinus disease is often reported as an incidental or chance finding in patients undergoing CT for non-sinus related pathologies

or cancerous properties. Usually patients accidentally come across diagnostics of the disease. For example, a change in female hormone levels can be a good indicator for whether a person has an adrenal tumor. One would investigate whether an incidentaloma was influencing adrenal cortical hormone levels by performing numerous tests and diagnostics. The first step is the collection of urine or blood samples to be tested for adrenal gland hormone levels. If a suspicious

representing approximately 70% of all pituitary tumors1, 2. Clinically, pituitary adenomas present with a classic semiologic triad related to hypersecretion, hypopituitarism, mass effect (headache, visual disturbances, and hydrocephalus) or as incidentalomas discovered during neuroimaging for the management of other disorders; occasionally pituitary apoplexy, or rarely as cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea3. A suspected case of pituitary adenoma will require a coordinated two step

Adrenal gland In mammals, the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are the triangular-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They are chiefly responsible for releasing hormones in conjunction with stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids and catecholamines, including cortisol and adrenaline (epinephrine), respectively. Anatomy and function Anatomically, the adrenal glands are located in the retroperitoneum situated atop the kidneys, one on each side. They are
