Researchers reveal scale of prevalence of a condition that can cause type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure

Up to 10 per cent of adults have a benign tumor, or lump, known as an 'adrenal incidentaloma' in their adrenals -- glands situated on top of the kidneys which produce a variety of hormones.
