What happens during the disease - neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour: adrenal gland
Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour of the adrenal gland is likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as exposure to certain carcinogens, that cause mutations in the cells of the adrenal gland. these mutations cause the cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a mass of abnormal cells that can invade and damage nearby tissue and organs.
