How are adenomas diagnosed?

To diagnose an adenoma, your healthcare provider will complete a physical exam and medical history. You may also need one or more imaging tests, such as a CT scan, MRI scan or PET scan.

Your healthcare provider may also order a biopsy of the adenoma. During a biopsy, your healthcare provider takes a small tissue sample to send to a laboratory. The laboratory analyzes the sample and rules out or confirms the presence of an adenoma.
