Question

1. which term describes an excision of the adrenal gland to remove an adenoma or carcinoma?

lobectomy
adenectomy
cystectomy
adrenalectomy

Explanation:

The question asks for the term describing excision of the adrenal gland. "Adrenalectomy" combines "adrenal" (referring to the adrenal gland) and "-ectomy" (surgical excision). Lobectomy is removal of a lobe, adenectomy of a gland (general), cystectomy of a cyst—none match the adrenal gland specifically.

Answer:

Adrenalectomy
