Background: Adrenal neoplasms are common and are incidentally discovered in 4-10% of abdominal imaging studies. Most of them are not cancerous and nonfunctional. Every adrenal incidentaloma is evaluated with function tests for functionality. In our study we aimed to investigate the relation of tumor markers which were measured for other reasons and function tests in nonfunctional adrenal adenomas retrospectively. Methods: Patients diagnosed with nonfunctional adrenal adenoma in the last three years in our research hospital were evaluated retrospectively. Data of 133 patients including function tests (renin -aldosterone-17OHprogesterone-testosterone-dehydroepiandrosteronesulphate levels, 24 hour urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine levels, overnight dexamethasone supression test) were evaluated. Fortyfi ve of these 133 patients had tumor markers (CEA, alpha-fetoprotein, CA 19-9, CA15-3, CA125) recorded. The relation between function tests and tumor markers are examined. Results: The data of 31 women and 16 men with mean age 55,54±10,64 years and 56,06±11,41 years respectively were evaluated. There was a negative correlation between age and CA-125 levels. A negative correlation was also found between testosterone and CA15-3. There was a positive correlation between urinary cortisole and CEA and also between aldosterone and CA19-9 levels. Conclusions: Tumor markers may be used as alternative tests for function tests. But future studies with big sample size are needed to confi rm this hypothesis.
