This is a very serious mass growing in the adrenal gland that produces an excessive amount of adrenalin. The main symptom is high, uncontrollable blood pressure.
The only treatment would be surgical removal of the adrenal gland. Due to the dangers of this condition, it is recommended that it is referred to an experienced laparoscopic urologist/surgeon.
This is to prevent complications during the operation.
The internationally preferred operation would be laparoscopy or key hole surgery. Patient usually goes home 2 days after the procedure.
The adrenal gland is demonstrated in this diagram to be on top of both kidneys.
