The adrenals are paired glands that lie in the retroperitoneum and have a close anatomic relation to the kidneys. Each gland has a cortex and a medulla, which act as separate entities. The adrenals are affected by various pathologic conditions, including congenital abnormalities, hypofunction, nodular enlargement, hyperplasia, and malignant and benign tumours.
