Abstract: ntroduction: Adrenal gland's tumors can be benign or malignant, Adrenal cancer is less than 1% in general. The rare incidence of these tumors, it’s the reason why there´s few investigations about it. There are no studies in Dominicans oncological centers about this pathology. Methods: We analyzed a case series of patients with adrenal tumors between 2019 to 2024. They were clinical, radiology and surgical to establish prognostic. Objective: The aim of the study was quantified and characterize the patients who diagnose adrenal tumor Results: Out of 346 patients, 6 (1.7%) went into surgery for adrenal tumors, 4 of them were women (F 66% M 33%) with a median of 45 years old, most of the patients came from the west side of the country (83%) and all of the patients were unilateral. 66% of the patients had tumors with a size between 2-10cms; 5 (83%) patients develop some symptoms and one of those developed a Cushing syndrome. The pathology showed that 5 of the patients were benign and one of them reported adrenal adenocarcinoma. To this day, all of them are healthy, except for the one who reported cancer who died. Conclusions: these tumors are rare, they are 3-6% of the intraabdominal tumors, and less than 1% of cancers. They must be individualized and study for a better prognosis, the surgery has proven to be a good treatment and the patients in the study had good acceptance.
