BACKGROUND: X-ray diagnostics methods are important in detection of adrenal neoplasms malignant nature. The sensitivity and specificity of these methods are high enough. However the hormonal tests are also necessary to make an accurate clinical diagnosis with the high diagnostic efficiency of modern X-ray methods for adrenal tumors diagnosing. The urine steroid profile violations are detected with the adrenal glands various pathologies (primary hyperaldosteronism, hypercorticism, congenital hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex and adrenocortical cancer). Urine steroid profile tests in patients with diagnosed adrenal neoplasms are intended primarily to confirm or refute the adrenocortical cancer risk. At the same time in the medical community to date there are a number of disagreements accumulated regarding the accuracy and significance of the urine steroid profile tests. AIMS: The study aims to determine the urine steroid profile determination accuracy limits for the adrenocortical cancer diagnosis. MATERIALS AN
