Non functional adrenal tumor
Hello everyone,
I have a 12 year old Spitz with one increased adrenal gland but no symptoms of cushings. Last December we did a ultrasound on her because of a pancreatitis she got from some meds she was allergic to and found one increased adrenal gland. Therefore, we had every possible test done: LDDT, cortisol/creatinin test, test for adrenalin and progesteron as well as an ACTH test. All tests were negative.
Six months later we did a check-up with ultrashound. Nothing really changed the tumor didn't grow that much maybe approximately 0,1-0,2cm since December. It is now 1,2cm in size (normal size 0,6cm) and she doesn't show any symptoms either. Which leads to the conclusion that it might be a non functional tumor. However, the tumor looked diffuse and inhomogenous (just like it did in December). That is why I am worried now that it might be a non functional carcinoma although, I always thought those kind of tumors were especially aggressive and fast growing or does the paste of the tumor say nothing at all?!! 


Hope to find someone who I can talk to about this with experience.
Thank you for your answers.
