Background: Current guidelines suggest against further imaging follow-up (FU) of patients with non-functioning adrenal masses with clear benign features on imaging studies.Aim: To analyse the data of patients with non-functioning adrenal masses who had FU at Vilnius University Hospital Santariskiu Klinikos (VUHSK) from 2010 to 2016.Methods: Cases coded as D35.0; D44.1; C74.1; C74.9; E26.0; E27,8; E24,8 according to ICD-10 classific...

Introduction: Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common malignancy of the thyroid gland. Distant metastasis, usually in bones or lungs, can be found in about 10%–15% of cases.

Background: Currently, the European Society of Endocrinology guidelines asserted against additional imaging during follow-up (FUP) in patients with non-functioning adrenal masses <4 cm in size with clear benign features on imaging studies.
