Adrenaloma is the real medical term for a tumor of the adrenal gland. Sometimes they are jokingly called "adrenal incidentalomas" because they are often found incidentally (when you weren't looking for them) while looking for something else, and they very, very rarely cause any disease.

What is inflammation of the adrenal glands?
Inflammation of the adrenal glands is known as adrenalitis. It can be caused by various factors, including autoimmune conditions, infections, or medications.

What does the adrenal glands do in the endocrine system?
The adrenal gland is divided into an inner adrenal medulla and an outer adrenal cortex. As the name 'adrenal' suggests, the adrenal glands secrete the peptide hormone adrenaline (epinephrine) which is involved in the fight-or-flight response. This is secreted by the adrenal medulla. The adrenal 'cortex' is involved in secreting corticosteroids, important fat-soluble hormones in the body. Since it is a gland that secretes hormones, it is known as an endocrine gland, part of the endocrine system.
