Can Adrenal Gland Thickening Lead To Cancer?
I was told 2 years ago I had adrenal glan thickening and was told by the doctor that he saw no rumors and did not know what causes it and to not worry. My mother died because of a tumor on her adrenal glad and cancer of the lungs. Should I go to another Dr. For another opinion?

isolated thickening of adrenal gland is not cancerous. it is better TO take second opinion, to rule out any hormonal imbalance because of it. One more thing is to get PET ct abdomen, that can also help to rule out any malignancy or infection
