Some adrenal incidentalomas produce cortisol in mild excess ('subclinical' Cushing's adenomas) and can potentially induce osteopenia. Their diagnosis is usually based on exclusive tumour uptake on adrenal scintigraphy using 131I-6 beta-methyl-iodo-19-norcholesterol and on inadequate cortisol response to dexamethasone (DXM) suppression tests. The aims of the present study were to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and metabolic markers of bone turnover in patients with incidentalomas and to test the effect of mild hypercortisolism on bone parameters.
