Adrenal gland tumors are usually always surgically removed, whether they are benign or malignant. Adrenal gland removal typically does not affect endocrine function due to compensation from other glands in producing hormones.

Adrenal gland tumors can be treated with surgery to remove the tumor. If the tumor is cancerous, additional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be needed. In some cases, targeted therapy or medications to manage symptoms caused by the tumor may be used.
